The Fairy Universe
by Olivier Ledroit, Laurent Souille?, Olivier Souillé
The Fairy Universe is a spectacular treat. The art is intricate, dramatic, and often downright stunning, moving seamlessly from colorful double page spreads to pencil drawings and back again. The care taken in each decision about design and layout is easy to see, and the attention to detail pays off. The evocative art and few sentences of description for each fairy create the illusion of rich and detailed stories despite their "simple" elements.
My one disappointment is in the lack of representation. The female fairies in particular have very little variety in body shape and white skin tones. The art is beautiful, but it is not diverse.
There is also female nudity for those who would prefer to avoid it.
I'm very excited to page through a physical copy of this book. I can only imagine how much more wonderful the full-size art will be when compared to the images on my tiny phone screen!
