About this title

From the Publisher:

Victorian Fairy Painting has received outstanding reviews
"Most of all I appreciate the catalogue. This is one of the times when an exhibition of visual interest comes with a publication of permanent value...Detailed, knowledgeable and illuminating, the catalogue is the best book on 19th-century British art to have appeared in some years." - The Independent

"as powerful an inducement to fancy as the opium that inspired a number of the paintings." - The New York Times

"magnificient...What a splendid and perceptive writer Maas was, mixing outstanding scholarship with great warmth and just a flavour of gossip and intrigue. His essay sets a lively tone for the rest of the catalogue, which contains important and equally fascinating contributions...It proves excellent value and is well worth the money." - Antiques and Collectibles

"magnificently sinister" - The Times
