Following the huge success of The Art of Faery, published in 2003, the collaborators have come together once more to produce a stunning collection of fairy art from some of the best fairy artists working today. New artists are introduced alongside those returning from the last collection to share their new work, their projects and aspirations and their intoxicating love of all things Faery. All media is represented in a rich display: watercolour, pen and ink, oil, and pastel. This book has wide-ranging appeal and will be loved by all fairy fans, children and fantasy art enthusiasts. Contributors include Amy Brown, Linda Ravenscroft, Marc Potts, Hazel Brown, Myrea Pettit, Stephanie Pui-Mun Law, and many more.

~ The Mythology of the Mermaid and her Kin ~
~ A book by Marc Potts ~
The Mythology of the Mermaid & her Kin explores the folklore, mythology and
origins of mermaids.
Chapters include: Folktales from Britain and Europe, the mermaid's strange but lasting relationship with the Christian church, her image in bestiaries, recorded sightings and captures, famous and not so famous hoaxes.
"Books on merfolk are as rare as the proverbial hens' teeth, so this one by TC's cover artist this issue is most welcome. Not only does it cover mermen and mermaids, but also sea deities, river spirits, undines and seal people. The origins of belief in the merfolk all over Europe are explored along with accounts of sightings and famous hoaxes. Beautifully illustrated with the author's unique artwork, this is an excellent study of a neglected aspect of folklore and mythology. Highly recommended." Mike Howard - 'The Cauldron' November 2000
