Mabel Lucie Attwell's "The Allies of Santa Claus" reminds us that even Santa has fairy helpers spreading joy during Christmas time. Harry Clarke's Snow Queen transports us to a winter wonderland where fairies dance amidst glistening snowflakes. Meanwhile, on Capri Island, fishermen encounter mermaids in the mystical blue Grotto, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. Richard Dadd's masterpiece "The Fairy Fellers Master-Stroke" unveils an intricate world where fairies revel in their mischievous ways. In "Old Woman in the Wood, " we witness a fairy tale come alive through captivating imagery. The Illustrated London News Christmas number cover from 1904 showcases fairies sprinkling magic over holiday festivities. Shakespeare's Ariel from "The Tempest" reminds us that even within literature, these ethereal creatures hold sway over our imaginations. Pauline Baynes' illustration of Hansel and Gretel invites us into autumnal fairy tales filled with adventure and wonder. Lastly, Lotte Reiniger's pioneering animation film "The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926)" brings to life ancient Arabian tales with mesmerizing shadow puppetry.
