We carried the French editions published by our pals at Galerie Daniel Maghen back in 2005 and 2008 (l'Univers Feerique d'Olivier Ledroit, Livres 1 and 2). Now years later the books are available in a single volume in English.

Ledroit's work is reminiscent of Brian Froud but with a darker streak. A beautiful collection of watercolors and detailed pencil drawings of faeries, elves, trolls, etc.

From the publisher:

We are now certain: fairies exist! This universe is made up of mysterious and elusive spirits: the Elves and the Faes. Once we accept this evidence, we still have to recognize them, approach them, and sometimes be wary of them... It took our illustrator all his dexterity to be able to approach them, sketch them, and give us this guide to the most remarkable Faes and Elves.

The Fairy Universe offers us the keys to this magical and poetic universe through hundreds of drawings by Olivier Ledroit, the designer of the Chronicles of the Black Moon, spread over double-pages in watercolor and pencil, with illustrating texts by Olivier and Laurent Souillé.
