About

Collecting together the critically acclaimed The Book of Ballads and Sagas series by the legendary fantasy artist Charles Vess. The award-winning compendium of English, Irish and Scottish fairy tales and folklore returns to print in a sumptuous new collection featuring stories written by multi-award winning author Neil Gaiman ('Sandman', 'Coraline', and 'Stardust'), Eisner and Harvey Award-winning cartoonish Jeff Smith ('Bone'), Aurora award-winning author Charles De Lint, New York Times Bestseller Sharyn McCrumb, Elaine Lee ('Starstruck') and acclaimed children's writer Jane Yolen. This new collection also includes, for the first time since its original publication, back in 1995, Vess' unfinished epic saga 'Skade', and includes an additional 10 pages of artwork that have never been seen before.

    Reviews

    "Each ballad is a little gem sparkling with restored vitality. It is all here: lust and humor, ghosts and demons, passion and terror, all the things that keep us up at night. What more could the fantasy reader desire?"
    SciFi Dimensions
    "Here Vess reaches the peak of his art, standing proudly with the 19th and early 20th century illustrators who influence him."
    Publishers Weekly
    "A cloth of rare delight, rich with the perfume of the forest and its graces."
    James Gurney, author of Dinotopia
