Richard Doyle (Londra, 1824- ivi, 1883) Pittore, illustratore e caricaturista, il suo nome è riferimento per l illustrazione del mondo fatato. Le sue tavole incise su legno e finemente acquerellate raffigurano un mondo fantastico ed incantato che ci trasporta nella dimensione magica della foresta. In Fairyland è, indubbiamente, Il suo capolavoro e ci mostra il mondo fatato segreto di Doyle nella sua forma più incantevole accompagnato dalla poesia di William Allingham. Venne stampato da Edmund Evans e pubblicata da Longman in tempo per il Natale del 1869 (datata 1870). L'illustrazione dell'albero delle fate è uno degli acquerelli più ambiziosi di Dicky e anche uno dei suoi più celebri, con 200 figure appollaiate sui rami e il re delle fate al centro della composizione.
