"There is almost nothing that has such a keen sense of fun as a fallen leaf" from Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens: Fallen Leaf, Arthur Rackham.
We were reviewing the various Arthur Rackham resources in our library (we like to call it that despite its disorganized state) in search of a particular image. The various fairies looked up over the pages to see if they could help. This being winter (and there had been snow), we were surprised that there were still leaves that could be blown.
"Exquisite Fairy Dancing " from Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens: Arthur Rackham.
But fairies are nothing if not resourceful and prefer flight to other means of transportation even when they are feeling “dancey.”
A Fairy, Arthur Rackham
At any rate, all the music, dancing and urging towards flight forced us to find the best means of keeping them from causing mayhem or tying up the cats! So we thought that postcards would be a good means of getting the fairies involved in better things than this usual mischief.
