Fairies in Art is about famous artists and illustrators such as Aubrey Beardsley, Kay Nielsen, Edmund Dulac, Arthur Rackham and others. Fairy tale Art is not just pretty feathered creatures that flutter in the sky. Yes, there are trolls and gnomes, but there are many Fairy Tale Book illustrations that can show us a world beyond. Mythology and deep rooted folklore are behind it all, and what fascinating stories we can find. I hope you enjoy it.

Edmund Dulac Golden Age illustrator of Fairy Tales
Yet another outstanding illustration by Edmund Dulac, also known as Edmond Dulac, a French Fairy Tale Book illustrator from the Golden Age of Illustration.
This one's probably from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, but I'm not sure. His also did some illustrations for stories from Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales like The Little Mermaid.
