I'm no expert on nude fairies, sprites and nymphs. Needless to say, this book is filled with illustrations of these winged lovelies. Despite my lack of expertise, I'm fairly certain that fairies, sprites and nymphs are supposed to be diminutive rather than proto-Amazonian, a la Frank Frazetta, as some are depicted here. I "read" this while hanging out at Half Price Books today. The cover image, though tamer than what's inside, gives you some idea of the concept. Quite nice, and I did want to buy it, but, shit, when I'm at that bookstore I want to buy everything.

Very nice fantasy art collection. Recommended

The pieces by Arantza (including the cover) were the only ones worth anything; the rest was mediocre at best.

Fairy Song: A Gallery of Fairies, Sprites, and Nymphs is a delightful celebration of fantasy art, bringing together an impressive range of artists united by a shared fascination with the enchanted corners of folklore. The collection overflows with fairies, nymphs, sprites, and other mystical beings, each interpreted through a unique artistic lens.
What I appreciated most was the diversity of styles on display. Some pieces evoke the dreamy elegance of classic fairy tales, while others embrace a darker, more mischievous atmosphere. The book never feels repetitive; each page offers a new vision of the unseen world hiding beyond the edge of the forest.
The sensuality that runs throughout the collection is handled as part of the mythology and allure of these creatures, enhancing their otherworldly charm rather than overwhelming the artwork itself. The result is a gallery that feels playful, magical, and occasionally provocative, while always remaining visually captivating.
This is less a book to read from cover to cover than one to linger over, returning to favorite pieces and discovering new details each time. Fans of fantasy illustration, folklore-inspired art, and enchanted realms will find plenty to admire here.
A beautiful showcase of contemporary fantasy art that successfully captures the wonder, mystery, and irresistible allure of the fairy world.

SQP Gallery girls collection of erotic pin-up fantasy art of fairies and nymphs.

A-Typical Gallery girls title. Mix of colour, sepia and b/w full page erotic fairy artworks - not particularly great although as ever, the works of Pelaez stand out - his faces are beautiful. There's again nothing more than the art here, no techniques or artist bios.

Very much overpriced for what it is.

I was given this book by a friend and I thought it was along the lines of The Art of DragonLance. This is far from it - no context explaining any of the work within. If you like nudes of fairies then this is for you. If you like quality artwork of the fantasy genre, don't by this book.
