Famed for his charming illustrations of elves, fairies, and gnomes, the
prominent Victorian artist Richard Doyle (1824-1883) produced a host of
these delightful characters for The Princess Nobody: A Tale of
Fairyland, a book he created with British author Andrew Lang in 1884.
Illustrator Marty Noble has skillfully adapted 29 of the English
artist's most delightful watercolors from that enchanting book. Brimming
with a multitude of nature's tiniest creatures of the air, field, and
stream, the collection also features pixies, imps, and a petite princess
and an equally diminutive prince. These captivating figures can be
brought to life by colorists and fairyland devotees as they apply their
own hues to enchanting scenes of mischievous sprites at play. Captions
accompany each illustration.
