(Revival House Press, 2021) Ans builds a world in which the most enchanted and perilous of woods is filled with the most mundane and relatable of magical creatures negotiating their fairy land in a way that seems far more like the way I might negotiate it than the goings on of any previously seen Hobbit or dragon or even Scottish swamp ogre. While the whimsy and clean-lined design of the artwork brings you into a fun, fresh cartoon world, I actually find these more starkly realistic than most other fantasy tales I've consumed. I love these little creatures with big responsibilities!
