Amelia Jane Murray,born in 1800 on the Isle of Man,painteda magical series of fairy pictures which have never been published before their appearance in this book.She lived for nearly a century,but these exquisite pictures were done when she was young: their grace and elegance reflect Regency style and pre-date the more sentimental fairies that became popular with the Victorians.Known to her family as "Emily", Amelia Jane grew up in a world of privilege.Her family had once held sovereign rights to the Isle of Man,and her uncle was the Governor ofthe Island.Like a Jane Austen heroine,she would have acquired all the accomplishments necessary to polite provincial society - including drawing.But Emily obviously had talent as well as tuition.Her fairies are delightfully graceful creatures,and their settings are depicted in wonderful detail.Flowers,birds and winged insects are all careful studies in natural history,and Emily's seascapes are both romantic and real. Emily left no explanations.The text of 'The Faery Bower' therefore attempts to complement the pictures with a combination of poetry and appreciation.The pictures are introduced by Lionel Lambourne,Assistant Keeper of Paintings at the Victoria and Albert Museum; and Sir Iain Moncreiffe of that Ilk supplied a splendid family background which reveals Emily's connections to everyone who was or is anyone,including the present owner of the pictures,the Hon. April Agnew-Somerville.
