The Enchanted Capital of Scotland is a story attributed to a Merchant of Edinburgh - identified as Noel G Fyfe - but retold

in words by Isobel K C Steele.

The illustrations accompanying the tale are the second-to-last suite contributed to an illustrated book prior to King's death.

Her contributions - in both colour and monotone are extensive with almost each of the 54 pages illustrated with monotone

images in addition to 4 double-page colour illustrations.
