You have only just been made
In the starry meadows.
Is your little heart afraid
Of the storms and shadows?

Really pretty artwork, I love the last one. <3
Isn’t it? I like the last one too, I’d love to take a photo like that.
Those are very beautiful pictures! And that poem is very lovely!
The verse is by Annie Rentoul, her sister.
Those are really beautiful!
Yes, I want to take photos like these someday…
I love her. She published one of my favourite childhood books- ‘Blossom: A Fairy Story’, which I’d almost forgotten until I saw this post!
Her fairies are beautiful too, but I like her wingless girls best.
Aw, these are so pretty. Are they illustrations to something, or just stand-alone artwork?
They were published in picture books with accompanying poems, but it was more like the poems described the art than the other way around.
So much pretty~ So much <3
I must find more of her work now!
Thank you for sharing!
I scanned most of these from a picture book I own, you’re welcome to have a look next time you’re over <3
Lovely illustrations, the second is my favorite!
Those are gorgeous and so whimsical.
I adore the second one so much and that verse is lovely.
