- Put together by Beatrice Phillpotts, I got this book when I was studying G.C.S.E art and needed some reference images for a project on mythical stories.
- To be perfectly honest I have never sat down and read this book from cover to cover. Instead I have studied the images and artwork shown intensely and as a result have always been interested in the subject. The collection of work in this book is beautiful and varied... from basic illustration and sketches, to photography, to traditional art work.
- The composition of this book is fairly jumbled and sometimes a bit visually confusing... it can also detract from some of the images, of which a few aren't really given as much space as they deserve. You get a lot of information and images on each page, which can get a little tiresome to see if you go through the book page by page, and there is a lot of text (probably why I didn't bother reading it all).
- However, this book is a good reference book and easy to dip into now and again when you want to see a little bit of creativity.
- I genuinely believe the woman who wrote this book is a little bit mad and totally obsessed with fairies, but there are some great pieces of art in this book.
