Product Information

This book gives you a bit of a look at an artists' work at the start of fully accepting his muse as it were. They referred to the work of leading British folklorist Katharine Briggs as one of their main sources for information about faeries.

Los autores han hecho un gran trabajo para compilar las historias, mitología, leyendas, poemas y folclore (la mayoría del mundo anglosajón) sobre las hadas y otras criaturas mitológicas (incluyendo duendes, enanos, pixies, elfos, leprechauns, sirenas, etc) y representar TODOS los tipos de hadas, su historia, características, costumbres, dónde se encuentran, cómo protegerse de ellas… (repito, se orienta a un público adulto).

In 1980, a 12-page pop-up version for children was published as The Faeries Pop-up Book [32] by Abrams in the U.

Fantasy literature scholar Dimitra Fimi wrote that Lee's illustration for the entry "Faerie Rades", depicting the procession of the Irish fairies as "splendidly dressed men and women in medieval style, most of them riding decorated horses and one of them holding an unfolding banner," took a strong influence from John Duncan's 1911 painting The Riders of the Sidhe.

The Atlantic Monthly also likened the illustrative style to the painters Arnold Böcklin and Hieronymus Bosch. A combination of mythology, folklore, bestiary, and straight-up art--doing none of these things exceptionally well except the last, which is all that really matters. It is a work intended for the in-between people: young adults, serious children, and adults who have maintained some of their childhood innocence.
