Histoires et Légendes Normandes - Compilation #1-2

This French anthology collection gathers two tales of Norman folklore — L'Empreinte du malin and Les Belles et les Bêtes — into one handsome recueil from Association l'Eure du Terroir. The cover sets a wonderfully enchanted mood: a fair-haired woman in a blue gown rides a pale grey horse through a lush, mysterious forest, while fantastical creatures — including a stout, apple-clutching gnome and ethereal fairy-like figures — populate the shadowy woodland around her. A wonderful entry point into the rich legends of Normandy, this 2014 compilation brings together a talented roster of creators including Bringel, Charline, Cordoba, De Cook, Gaillard, Mira, Oloch, Ray, Tanguy, and Marcel & Monique Loerzo, among others.
