Each chapter takes on the story behind an ancient ballad (i.e., “Barbara Allen” or “Tam-Lin” or “The False Knight on the Road,” among a dozen or so others), and the graphic novel aspect is written by a series of important fantasy writers such as Neil Gaiman, Charles de Lint, Delia Sherman, Midori Snyder and Jane Yolen. At the end of each chapter, the original ballad is reprinted, presumably the oldest version that has (yet) been found although I’m not certain what criteria were used for that. In addition, an unfinished original saga by Mr. Vess is included, along with a discography (which mentions in particular many bands whose renditions were the first I ever heard of these songs, like Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span). One can’t really be said to “finish” a book like this, because it’s meant to be savoured over and over again, for the beautiful artwork to the amazing storytelling, after which one simply must listen to the songs again too. Very highly recommended! ( ) näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
