The creator of "The Fairies: Photographic Evidence of the Existence of Another World" uses the same highly manipulated photo-collage technique to present a gallery of images, each of whom is associated with one of the Four Elements. Pictures of elaborately costumed, formally posed live models with blurred outlines into maelstroms of saturated color create an almost abstract & melodramatic effect. Each magic worker comes with a bit of commentary: Orella, Enchantress of the Dawn, for instance, once stopped an army of giants by transforming herself into the scent of orange blossoms; water witches Euromie & Europa united rival kingdoms by changing a river's course; & Ogma & Malik, Wizards of Illusion, permanently switched day & night for a Caspian village. The descriptive text is printed in a variety of fine scripts & ornamented typefaces on super-glossy paper stock over backgrounds of mottled, intense color. The story line is really secondary to the art; fans of romantic high fantasy & readers who enjoy creating entire imaginary worlds will linger over these mysterious, evocative portraits. Hardcover picture book.
