Synopsis
Here is the visual magic of the spectacular new movie The Dark Crystal, in which Jim Henson and Frank Oz of Muppet fame, and their associates, collaborate with the celebrated illustrator Brian Froud (Faeries and The Land Of Froud) to create a fantastic ancient civilization - bringing to life its people, geography, laws, languages and mythology. With over 200 pictures by Brian Froud (most in full colour) and its story of Tolkien-like fascination, this book is both a lavish introduction to the World Of Dark Crystal and a work of fantasy and artistry that stands completely on its own. By means of dramatic illustration and imaginative text. Brian Froud and Professor J.J. Llewellyn have recreated - through the "writings" of the wise and ancient woman Aughra - the complex and absorbing world of the film so perfectly it could have existed.
