Peek Inside the Books of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite!

Let’s meet the 100+-year-old fairies of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite in their original form! The illustrator, alongside her collaborating family members, brought fairies to life for generations of children. Her whimsical characters and nature scenes captivated audiences locally, internationally, and now across time! Her hardbound books, featuring black-and-white pen drawings and full-color illustrations, were collectible and prized gifts—one even graced the young Princess Elizabeth. We welcome you into our library to see her first-edition books that have inspired our reproductions.
