Product Description

A breathtaking showcase of Maxine Gadd’s whimsical, colorful fairy paintings. Her highly detailed work has appeared before in anthologies, but this is the first book dedicated to Gadd alone—and it’s exquisitely produced, bound in rich red cloth and with matte art paper, padded front board, and gilt edges on the pages. What a treat for fans of fantasy art, who have already turned other titles on fairies into bestsellers: very few painters have managed to capture this unseen world so completely. Looking at the pictures—sometimes shimmering, sometimes eerie—you can practically hear boughs creak, leaves rustle, small wings flurry, and voices chatter in a tongue unknown to mortals. Commentary by the ever-popular John Grant, aimed at “believers,” enhances the images.

Unearthly Beauty5
I had seen Gadd's artwork before on her website and in an anthology of fairy art, but I still wasn't prepared for the incredible, unearthly beauty of this amazing book. Here, Gadd presents an incredible collection of fairies light and dark, leprechauns, unicorns, mermaids, and even a few witches and vampires! Her color is simply stunning, from the fiery eyes to the gossamer wings and mermaid's tails. If you love fairies, fantasy, or Gadd herself, you absolutely MUST get this book. Gadd tells us in the introduction that she made a promise to herself as a child to paint fairies the way they truly are: bold, fiery, and full of otherworldly color. That promise has more than been fulfilled, and I for one am eternally thankful.

An Amazing Book!5
I found Maxine's work in the book to be intricately detailed and exciting! Each magical image awakens the viewer's sense of curiosity and imagination, returning her to a delightfully dreamy state of mind long forgotten under the responsibilities and restrictions of adulthood.

The book has tons of high-quality color photos, and is nicely bound with a padded cover and even gold-tipped pages!

Maxine Gadd is truly one of the most amazing fantasy artists of not only the 21st century, but of all time!

Faeries and Other Fantastical Folk : The Faery Paintings of Maxine Gadd by Maxine Gadd 5
Maxine Gadd's paintings are pure eye candy for those who like magical creatures. They are NOT run of the mill images! The book has gilded pages and a nice padded cover. I am extremely pleased with it and all whom I have shared it with have liked it also.
