Bernard Sleigh (1872-1954), 'An Anciente Mappe of Fairyland', 1920 Source “Ancient mappe of Fairyland… depicts a place loosely defined as one of fantasy, literary imagination and make-believe. It is a bird’s-eye view of an island with extraordinary topography, populated with a complete range of myth, fable, legend, nursery rhyme, children’s story, play and poem. Journeying across it, one might pass through Peter Pan’s Never-Never Land to Avalon and the medieval legend of King Arthur, via Puss in Boots, Hansel and Gretel, and Oberon’s shield.” (Source)
