Violet Fairy : Ultra Lined Journal

This captivating image comes from Andrew Lang's The Violet Fairy Book. Compiled in 1907 by the Scottish poet and anthropologist Andrew Lang (1844-1912) and illustrated by Henry Justice Ford (1860-1941), the book was one in a twelve-part series known as Lang's Fairy Books. Each book in the series was named for the colour of its fairy, and this Violet Fairy journal reproduces the front cover of that book's first edition. Upon publication, the books were a sensation among British schoolchildren and were sold all around the world.

May the Violet Fairy bring a hint of vintage whimsy to your writings.
