Framed Print of Elf Ring, Legendary Creatures
Elf Ring. A great deal of folklore surrounds fairy rings. Their names in European languages often allude to supernatural origins; they are known as ronds de sorciers (sorcerers rings) in France, and Hexenringe (witches rings) in German. In German tradition, fairy rings were thought to mark the site of witches dancing on Walpurgis Night, and Dutch superstition claimed that the circles show where the Devil set his milk churn. Western European, including English, Scandinavian and Celtic, traditions claimed that fairy rings are the result of elves or fairies dancing. European superstitions routinely warned against entering a fairy ring. Mortals who have danced with the fairies are rarely safe after being saved from their enthrallment. Often, they find that what seemed to be but a brief foray into fairyland was indeed much longer in the mortal realm, possibly weeks or years. Catherine Greenaway (March 17, 1846 - November 6, 1901), known as Kate Greenaway, was an English children's book illustrator and writer. Her paintings were reproduced by chromoxylography, by which the colors were printed from hand engraved wood blocks. Through the 1880s and 1890s, her only rivals in popularity in children's book illustration were Walter Crane and Randolph Caldecott. She died of breast cancer in 1901 at the age of 55. © New York Public Library / Science Source
