"Fairy art : artists & inspirations" by Iain Zaczek
The Victorian/Romantic era saw a flowering of fairy paintings as British artists in particular rejected the classical and ancient Greek subjects in favour of inspiration in the countryside, the hedgerows and the meadows of the nineteenth-century British cultural landscape.
This beautifully illustrated book celebrates the finely detailed art of Fairy painting. 
Artists like Arthur Rackman who developed a unique style that blended pictorial elegance with a darkness of line.
Australian artists like Ida Rentoul Outhwaite and Shirley Barber and Pixie O’Harris are unfortunately not included
