From Ida Rentoul Outhwaite's classic The Enchanted Forest (1926), a charming fairy takes a leisurely ride on the back of her bat friend, offering her delicate wings a well-deserved rest! This whimsical scene is a testament to Outhwaite's ability to breathe life into magical beings. Interestingly, the book was authored by her husband, Grenbry Outhwaite, and was dedicated to the couple's four children, adding a personal touch to the enchanting tales and captivating illustrations. See this image on a greeting card AND as an art print!
