Fairies: Paintings by Michael Hague Boxed Notecards

Fairies have captivated the human imagination for centuries, from the nymphs and dryads of classical mythology through the jinn, or genies, of Arabian lore to the elves, pixies, flower fairies, and other tiny beings beloved in Western societies. Inspired by a wealth of fairy lore and literature, artists have long delighted in depicting the magical folk. This notecard assortment presents four charming illustrations by Michael Hague, from his Book of Fairies (HarperCollins, 2000) and Book of Fairy Poetry (HarperCollins, 2004) and from Kathleen Hague’s Good Night, Fairies (Chronicle Books, 2002). Each enchanting image is accompanied by a brief excerpt or poem.
