Cythère l'apprentie sorcière #[nn]

Fred's signature whimsical linework brings this Dargaud album to life, as young red-haired Cythère stands broom in hand alongside a tall, dark-robed witch and a peculiar purple bird-creature against a dreamy pink sky. A gnarled, face-like tree watches from the left while curious mushrooms dot the ground, setting a fairy-tale tone that feels both gently eerie and warmly playful. Published in 2014, Cythère l'apprentie sorcière promises the kind of imaginative, offbeat charm that Fred does so well.
