About The Author - Ola Cohn MBE
Ola Cohn MBE (1892 - 1964) was a pioneer of modernist sculpture in Australia. Her “Fairies' Tree” in the Fitzroy Gardens, Melbourne has delighted generations of children and adults. May 2014 is the 80th anniversary of the Fairies' Tree, from May 1931 to May 1934 Ola spent many hours of unpaid dedication to complete her carvings.
While working on carving the Fairies' Tree, Ola started to write her books about the tree and fairies. All together Ola published 4 books, “The Fairies' Tree” 1932, “More About The Fairies' Tree” 1933, “Castles In The Air” 1935 and “Mostly Cats” 1964.
