The World of Faery: Art and Inspiration from the Secret Realm

by David Riché (Presenter), Alan Lee (Foreword)

Following the huge success of The Art of Faery (2003), the collaborators have once again come together to create another astonishing collection. These are the most imaginative and beautiful images produced by the best fairy artists working today, all superbly reproduced for fans and connoisseurs. New contributors have joined some of those showcased in the last anthology, and their pieces use every form of media in a rich and magical mix: watercolor, pen and ink, oil, and pastel. Among those represented: Amy Brown, Linda Ravenscroft, Myrea Pettit, and Stephanie Pui-Mun Law. From Josephine Wall's gentle Caught by a Sunbeam, with its sweetly sleeping fairy, to Marc Potts' slightly sinister The Changeling, each one depicts a world of fantasy.

I was hoping for something a lot more comprehensive from this title.
This felt more like a really nice advertising brochure for a selection of contemporary artists.
Good quality art reproduction, though.

Imágenes preciosas, pero el texto solo se refiere a los artistas, y no habla de hadas y seres feéricos en absoluto
