Walking Through the Landscape of Faerie by Charles Vess

Walking Through the Landscape of Faerie Reviews

• 
  Marquise

  This is similar to "The Book of Ballads," but instead of short comics stories, it's illustrated poems and short stories, and unlike the other anthology, this has a theme in common for all: the eerie and gorgeous world of Faerie and its beautiful but frightening inhabitants. Taliesin, Thomas the Rhymer, Deirdre of the Sorrows... They're all here.
  
  I only wish the 5-star artwork by Charles Vess had more 5-star stories/poems by the collaborating writers to complement it, but it's still great on its own, gorgeous and atmospheric and intriguing.

  This is a lovely collection of art by Vess, accompanied by poetry, vignettes, and quotes from personalities such as Theodora Goss, Charles de Lint, Neil Gaiman, John Lennon, etc. There's a line in de Lint's introduction which summarizes it quite well: "The whole of the book paints a portrait of yearning and appreciation for a world that welcomes kindness, magic, whimsy, and pastoral beauty." What more needs be said?

  Dentro de las publicaciones que tiene la revista Enchanted Living para descarga gratuita, (
  https://enchantedlivingmagazine.com/a...) una de las sorpresas fue este volumen ilustrado por Charles Vess, uno de mis ilustradores favoritos de temática de fantasía y que tiene cuentos y poemas de autores como Neil Gaiman y Ursula K Le Guin. Una belleza.

  I don't think Faerie has a better illustrator than Charles Vess. Gorgeous illustrations, some taken from my favorite stories, combined with lovely poetry from some of my favorite writers. An excellent way to spend an afternoon with a book.

  Poesía y arte del mundo de las hadas en este libro ilustrado por Charles Vess y acompañado de los poemas de los grandes escritores modernos del fantástico.
  Charles Vess me gusta y en especial su gusto por la leyendas del mundo feérico, pero a veces me parece que su arte satura tanto la imagen de "lo fantástico" que le arrebata al mundo de las hadas su misterio.

  This is primarily an art book, though it does include one short comics narrative and several poems and very short stories (including a few by Vess) that accompany the illustrations. Vess's lush romanticism, his focus on nature and his creation of fundamentally benign-looking manifestations of the magical and uncanny is always a pleasure to behold.

  The written sections are somewhat scattered and abrupt, because this is really meant to be an art book. But I still gave it a 4, because Charles Vess' artwork continues to be magical and awe-inspiring despite the context.

  This book is incredible! So gorgeous and such a thoughtful curation of some of the artist's best work paired with the perfect words. Wonderful for all ages though some images are certainly more mature than others, so just pick up a copy if you're not sure about giving it to your kids :) I am so glad I was able to preorder a signed copy so that I can enjoy this book from now until it falls apart and I just hope that doesn't happen anytime soon because this is a book that's meant to be seen and read and enjoyed.
