Library

The Fairy Castle's Library is done in a sea motif. Over the fireplace stands a figure Captain Kidd, with his treasure behind him. Over the right-hand door, the scene depicts Robinson Crusoe and his companion, Friday. Above the left-hand door is Gulliver, pulling the Lilliputian ships through the gates of the city. The furniture continues the sea motif and is made of verdigris copper. Sea horses and sea snails gracefully support the shell-like furniture. Notice the chair turned up in front. This chair was tailor-made for a little fairy who prefers to read with their feet in the air. The Fairy Castle has a collection of over 100 miniature books, many of which were handwritten by renowned 20th-century authors.
