Drawing Down the Moon: The Art of Charles Vess #[nn]

A luminous art collection showcasing the distinctive fantasy vision of Charles Vess, this Dark Horse volume takes its name seriously — the cover alone conjures an entire otherworld, with an ethereal dark-haired figure riding a white horse through a moonlit forest procession of faeries, goblins, seahorses, and woodland creatures rendered in breathtaking detail. The lush, Pre-Raphaelite-tinged palette of deep greens and warm golds signals the kind of immersive, craft-driven illustration work gathered within. With a foreword by Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell author Susanna Clarke, this 2011 collection pairs two artists who share a deep affinity for the magic lurking just beneath the everyday world.
