Now, I'm a terrible artist. I leave all that to Eric. I picked this up because John Howe is a legendary figure in fantasy art and I wanted to get into his head a little. Also, I wanted to look at the pretty pictures. I got what I wanted. ;)

It was a fun read, if you're into this sort of thing, as I most avowedly am. The contributors are a veritable who'...
A fantasy collection of short stories about elves... like most such compilations, some are better than others, and most are (very) light reading... but overall it's been quite enjoyable.
A middle class, middle aged dad in khaki shorts and fanny pack lays a map out on the hood of the family station wagon. "Well kids, I thought we'd start in the Shire then head off to Rivendell. Maybe catch the stoned trolls if we have time." His finger eagerly traces the route, passing over the map's...
