Richard Doyle's (1824-1883) fairy-infused chromolithographs first greeted viewers in the 1870 edition of In Fairyland: A Series of Pictures from the Elf World. Now, Fairyland in Art and Poetry: From the Metropolitan Museum of Art pairs Doyle's popular artwork with poetry by the likes of William Shakespeare, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Eleanor Farjeon and Langston Hughes in a handsome keepsake edition.
