This illustration is from one of the fairytale books in my collection. When I was a little girl I often daydreamed about visiting fairyland, or entering the doorway in the hill where the Elves lived.The style of this pen and ink drawing is wonderful. I especially love the lizards in the gnarled tree. I would pour over these drawings by the hour, dreaming, making up stories of my own.
I still have a GREAT imagination!

I can see why you like this. There is so much going on!
You know, I think we HAVE been to Fairy Hill. Somewhere along the line ... when we were children. But you'd think I'd remember a lady who looked like this one ... if only for her wickedly ugly shoes!
Your imagination is obviously made of sterner stuff than mine, because that would have frightened me as a child! :)
I know I'm late in commenting; I've just found your wonderful blog!
Do you know the artist of this lovely picture?
It looks a lot like Arthur Rackham.
Just curious!~
Thanks for the great pictures and cards.
