Andrew Lang. The Pink Fairy Book. Illustrated by H. .J. Ford. New York, Longmans, Green, 1897.
This week’s Andrew Lang Fairy Book is pink. Bright pink with golden sunshine, angels and cherubs. Inside, the illustrations are again by the talented HJ Ford, and I’ve chosen my favourites to share with you. They include a Japanese tanuki, cats, dogs, baboons, dragons, mermaids and princesses of all sorts. I’m especially fond of the drawings with wind and water, both of which are difficult to draw, and Ford does it brilliantly. Enjoy.

This week it’s the Green Fairy Book and I’ve plucked a few of my favourite illustrations to share with you. Most of the artwork that I’ve chosen involves animals. My absolute favourite drawings, though, are from the last story in the book, The Three Dogs. Enjoy!
