Midsummer Eve: a fairy tale of love
A sentimental fairy tale by Anna Maria Hall, reissued in London in 1870 as an illustrated gift book for general readers. Wood-engraved vignettes drop into the text without frames: winged fairies in shafts of light, children at bedsides, kelpies in falling water, groups of small figures among ferns, and dense woodland trees beside streams. Useful for cut-out figures and irregular text-wrapped page shapes.
