A review by vsbedford
Mystical Places by Sarah Baxter

4.0

A right down the line writing style that is lifted to great heights by the illustrations by Amy Baxter - I would paper every wall of my home with these. The artist's style, to me, is reminiscent of Ludwig Bemelman's Madeline and the best of the fairy tale style of Disney's Snow White; sort of angular, saturated in color, and completely evocative. The writing, well, it's fine? I wasn't blown away but I also found it pretty well suited for the task in that she imparts the information and probably prompts the reader to dig deeper from other sources where a location really strikes their fancy. I'll definitely keep my eye out for the hardcover edition!

I received an ecopy from the publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
