Product Description

Product Description
Illustrated and presented by one of the leading artists in modern fantasy, The Book Of Ballads gives us some of the great songs and folktales of the English, Irish, and Scottish traditions, re-imagined in sequential art form, in collaboration with some of today's strongest fantasy writers. Here is New York. Times bestseller Neil Gaiman retelling "The False Knight on the Road", bestselling mystery author Sharyn McCrumb reimagining "Thomas the Rhymer", acclaimed children's writer Jane Yolen with "King Henry" and "The Great Selchie of Sule Skerrie", popular novelist Charles de Lint's contemporary reworking of "Twa Corbies", comics superstar Jeff Smith with "The Galtee Farmer", Emma Bull's version of "The Black Fox," and much, much more. Introduced by award-winning editor and writer Terri Windling, and finished with full lyrics and discographies of the classic versions of these songs and tales, The Book Of Ballads is an event in the worlds of fantasy and graphic storytelling alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars log fires and tankards of ale optional! , 19 Aug 2008
By Jayne M. Turner "selkie seeker" (welsh wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is a stunning book, the illustrations by Charles Vess are incredible, and the array of authors, from Charles de Lint - a personal favourite - to Jane Yolen and Emma Bull is a mouthwatering feast. The ballads range from The Selkie of Sule Skerrie to Sovay, and any lover to traditional folk and,or fantasy fiction is missing out if they don't have this book to curl up with on a dark winter evening. Log fires and tankards of ale are optional! Why can I only give it 5 stars?
