The Fairy World of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite - Muir & Holden, 1985 Craftsman House
Step into the enchanted gardens of one of Australia's most beloved illustrators. The Fairy World of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, written by Marcie Muir and Robert Holden and published by Craftsman House in 1985, traces the artist's life and career while reproducing the delicate fairy paintings and pen-and-ink drawings that made her famous.
A generously illustrated art monograph that reads as both biography and gallery, this volume is a natural fit for collectors of golden-age illustration, fairy art, and Australian book history.
Condition is excellent, from a single-owner home library. Like many titles in our children's illustrators collection, it carries a small sticker on an inside page; the book appears to have been collected rather than read. Please review the photos and ask any questions before purchasing, as we do not accept returns. Shipping combined on multiple purchases.
