Art of Fantasy Book Review

My friend, author S. Elizabeth, recently sent me a copy of her newest book The Art of Fantasy. And I have to say, I was delightfully impressed by it. It is about the history of fantasy art (as you may have surmised,) but it is not arranged chronologically like other books on the topic I’ve seen. Rather it meanders magically from subject to subject, a delightful way of succinctly showing how the work of artists over centuries of time (and those of today) have been influenced by what came before (as well as how they create new takes on the same story).

I really think this book would make a solid addition to the library of any lover of myth, folklore, and fantasy, so I wanted to pop back on here to say so. I know it will have a permanent spot on my shelves.
