Thanks to Pip from Mikes for a very lovely posting game- "A Week of Vintage Children's Book Illustration"
I am excited about this one!!! However, as my scanner has decided to die a nasty death i'm going to have to fudge today's pictures for ones on the web (although I DO actually have her book at home)
Ida Rentoul Outhwaite - illistrator of "Elves and Fairies" has done some of my favourite pictures like these two...

Oh hello little bubble girl! I loved these stories when i was little - all those fabulous colour plates popping up throughout those pages and pages of black and white text! Such a treat!

so much detail...just gorgeous illustrations!!
I always loved the little girl alone and a little sad -scenes when they were not too dramatic!
