Produktbeschreibungen
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-7 Richard Doyle's classic 1870 book In Fairyland is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the museum has reproduced his charming and romantic chromolithographs along with fairy poetry. The selections are predominantly by 19th-century English favorites (John Keats, William Shakespeare, Walter de la Mare), though American, Irish, and Scottish poets are included, as well as some early 20th-century authors (Stevie Smith, Langston Hughes, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Eleanor Farjeon). The 22 poems, all metered and rhymed, match the spirit of the illustrations, and will appeal to readers in their Secret Garden or Anne of Green Gables stage. Several of the poems are excerpted (Shakespeare's from plays, without citation), and readers may be getting more than they bargained for with Keats's "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" or the excerpt from William Butler Yeats's "The Stolen Child," though these are worthy verses to be haunted by. With its beautiful colors and heavy-stock paper, this attractive book will be picked up as light fare-and readers may enjoy it as such. Libraries that never have enough "pictures of fairies" will certainly want at least one copy. -Nina Lindsay, Oakland Public Library, CA

Kurzbeschreibung
Poetry to delight anyone who still believes in magic.
"When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies."
--J. M. Barrie, Scottish, 1860-1937, from Peter Pan
The art of Englishman Richard Doyle offers lush glimpses into the world of the wee folk. Doyle's fairies troop through meadows, twirl in the moonlight, and enlist birds and bugs in games and mischief. His whimsical illustrations, chosen from the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, are paired with poems by William Shakespeare, John Keats, Robert Louis Stevenson, William Butler Yeats, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Stevie Smith, and Langston Hughes, among others.
Fairy sweethearts among the roses illustrate Wilder's "The Fairies in the Sunshine," elf babies in a snail race match Robert Graves's "I'd Love to Be a Fairy's Child," and a fairy queen carried by butterflies reimagines Shakespeare's popular "Queen Mab" soliloquy. A magical treasury that will enchant readers of all ages.

A SUPERB PAIRING OF ART AND POETRY
13. März 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
British artist Richard Doyle (1824-1883), the son of a portrait painter and caricaturist, may be best remembered by some as the creator of the cover design for Punch, which was used for over a century. He also illustrated a number of children's books and created beguiling paintings of fairies, the wee folk. It is the latter that is used to illustrate this lovely keepsake volume.
Doyle's paintings are imaginative and incandescent, luminous illustrations of fairies astride snails, perched on a beetle or relaxing on a verdant hillock. Each illustration perfectly accompanies a poem, such as a tiny one sipping from a cowslip's bell in Shakespeare's "Ariel's Song" or fairies engaged in a tug-of-war with a grasshopper in "An Explanation of the Grasshopper" by Vachel Lindsay.
Other poets represented include John Keats, Robert Louis Stevenson, William Butler Yeats, and Langton Hughes.
The pairing of art and poetry is superb, thoughtfully conceived and executed. This slim volume deserves a place in everyone's library.
