| Summary: |
Ola Cohn is most famous for her Fairies tree in the Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne, being inspired by the Elfin Tree in London’s Kensington Gardens.
This year being the 81st anniversary of the Fairies tree, from May 1931 to May 1934, Ola spent many hours of unpaid dedication to complete her carvings (from http://www.fitzroygardens.com/Book_Fairies_Tree.htm).
The Fairies tree also inspired her own writing, 'Castles in the Air' being one of the few books she wrote around the characters she carved and created on the tree stump.
