EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a time in a magical realm, nestled among the enchanted forests and hidden glades, a wondrous scene unfolded at the heart of a secret grove. In this idyllic setting, a group of industrious owls busied themselves at ancient spinning wheels, their feathers softly illuminated by the gentle glow of twilight. Surrounding them were a gathering of ethereal fairies, their gossamer wings shimmering in the dappled moonlight. This image is taken from the "Dreams & Fairies" series published by Humphrey Milford in 1922. The series, designed for the delight of little ones, was created by the talented illustrator Lilian Amy Govey. In this particular print, Govey masterfully blends the natural world with the fantastical, inviting the viewer to step into a realm of imagination and wonder. The owls, with their wise and knowing expressions, work diligently at their spinning wheels, their feathers creating a soft, rhythmic sound as they weave their magic. The fairies, with their delicate features and mischievous grins, dance and play amongst the owls, their laughter adding to the enchanting atmosphere. As the sun sets and the moon rises, the scene is bathed in a soft, ethereal light, creating an otherworldly feeling of tranquility and harmony. This beautiful print invites us to dream of a world where magic and wonder are ever present, and where the natural world and the fantastical come together in perfect harmony. Lilian Amy Govey's illustrations in the "Dreams & Fairies" series continue to captivate and inspire, transporting us to a realm of enchantment and imagination. This print, with its charming depiction of owls and fairies working together, is a testament to the power of the imagination and the magic that lies within us all.
