In 24 never-before-seen paintings, best-selling fantasy artist Brian Froud interprets the mystical runes of ancient Celtic and European origin through the eyes of Elfland, a world of faeries and myth. Each painting is inspired by a specific rune, providing the visual key to a host of myths, stories, and adventures written by folklorist Ari Berk. Both storybook and oracle, the book can be used as a tool to explore both the seen and unseen world. With 94 total illustrations.
