About this product

Product Information

The fairy creatures of the Glimmering Land of Maar don't generally believe in humans, but as the stories collected in The Land of Stone Flowers will show, humans are just as real as any pixie, gnome, fairy or troll! A refreshing twist on the timeless fairytale genre, The Land of Stone Flowers is a stunning collection of entertaining tales, keen observations, and wild assumptions about the inhabitants of the human world, as told by the fairy creatures who believe in them. From the bewitching paper wizards who live in a human's wallets to their invisible hats known as moods which cloud a human's view of the world, the human land of stone flowers is shown in wild and whimsical detail through drawings, letters, diagrams, and stories, all told with a playful voice and an eye to the strange and the wonderful. This stunning collection is as absurd as it is astounding, examining contradictory and nonsensical human behaviours through the lens of the fantastic while providing a surprising and entertaining look at the things we take for granted. With a visual style that evokes Aubrey Beardsley, Harry Clarke, or Alphonse Mucha while at once being wholly her own, Sveta Dorosheva creates a modern world of whimsy and wonder in this fairy book for a modern generation, each page bursting with playful details and clever, tongue-in-cheek text that will pull readers in again and again.
