Olive Fairy (Lang’s Fairy Books) Midi Unlined Softcover Flexi Journal (Elastic Band Closure)

This captivating image comes from Andrew Lang’s The Olive Fairy Book.

Compiled in 1907 by the Scottish poet and anthropologist Andrew Lang, illustrated by Henry Justice Ford and published under the editorial direction of Lang’s wife, Leonora Alleyne, the book was one in a twelve-part series known as Lang’s Fairy Books (or Andrew Lang’s Fairy Books of Many Colours).

Each book in the series was named for the colour of its fairy, and this Olive Fairy notebook reproduces the front cover of that book’s first edition.

Upon publication, the books were a sensation among British schoolchildren and were sold all around the world.

May the Olive Fairy bring a hint of vintage whimsy to your writings.
