The book: This delightful production is an imagining of the whimsical inhabitants of the fairy realm, presented in van Sandwyk?s signature enchanting style. It features a reproduction of the so-called ?enlarged edition? of the panoramic chapbook that first appeared in Letters From Fairyland, now carefully folded into a small pocket within the booklet. Known for his love of nature and the fantastical, van Sandwyk creates a charming, collectible piece for lovers of fine press books, fairies, and magical illustration. Only a few copies exist with a rarer variant wrapper, fully illustrated on the front cover rather than the marbled covers featured here. Seller Inventory # ABE-1766926845843
