Légendes de féerie #1

A richly painted cover sets the tone for this 2006 Franco-Belgian fantasy album from Au Bord des Continents, presenting a brooding, robed elder seated on an ornate throne and surrounded by a whimsical court of faeries, rabbit-eared creatures, and diminutive fantastical beings. The deep golden-brown palette and painterly detail give the whole scene the feel of an illuminated manuscript brought to life. If Alpine folklore and fairy-tale wonder are your territory, Légendes de féerie looks like a genuinely beautiful place to wander.
