This delightful depiction is sourced from her timeless work, The Enchanted Forest (1926), a book crafted with love by her husband, Grenbry Outhwaite. This enchanting piece of literature was dedicated to their four cherished children, who frequently stepped into the role of models for their talented mother's artistic creations.
