Review The Great Encyclopedia of Faeries / Simon & Schuster:Pavilion Books seems to be specialising in books on the faery world, including the well-known Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Journal, Brian Foud's Good Faeries/Bad Faeries, and Beatrice Phillpotts' The Faeryland Companion. The Great Encyclopedia of Faeries divides the faery realm into several categories: Maidens of clouds and of time, The faeries of the hearth, The golden queens of the middle world, The faeries of rivers and the sea, The maidens of the green kingdoms, and The ethereal ones of infinite dreams. Within these we find a huge diversity of fair folk from world mythology, from the Norse Valkyries and the Russian Babouchka to Scotland's Mélusine, creatures like the Selkies and Swan Maidens, or Celtic or Arthurian magical figures such as Morgan le Fey and Viviane. This is a gift book: larger than A4, with colour illustrations by Roland and Claudine Sabatier on every page. It shouldn't be expected to be as comprehensive as, for example, folklorist Katharine Briggs' classic A Dictionary of Fairies. It measures up well, though, to Nancy Arrowsmith's A Field Guide to the Little People, covering as they both do over 70 types of faeries or individual characters. The text, by Pierre Dubois, is considerably more valuable than the pleasant but somewhat stylised artwork; it gives the mythological background, in many cases retelling old folk tales; there are also sidebars on size, appearance, dress, clothes, food, habitat, customs and activities, making this not just an attractive art book but a useful resource. -David V Barrett.

Review The American Art Book (Art Reference) / Phaidon Press Ltd:Accessibility is the code word for Phaidon's new 500-page dictionary of American art. Valuing images over words, the longest text is the book's introduction, which, printed in large, bold face hardly fills one page. But it does describe its mission well: "Each artist is represented by a full-page colour plate of a significant work, accompanied by an informative and engaging text that places the artist in the context of contemporary movements and preceding traditions. "- concise and informative. By arranging the artists alphabetically the editors set up some odd and amusing juxtapositions. For example, the suited subject of an Alice Neel painting appears to speak and gesticulate excitedly about the over-stacked cornucopia of Louise Nevelson's crates found on the opposing page. The caption over each work includes four artists' names in bold print that function as hyper-links of a sort, allowing readers to skip, for example, from Willem de Kooning's Woman I to Jean Michel Basquiat's Skull to Alfred Maurer's cubist-like painting Woman with Curlers. This way, with each visit to the to The American Art Book, readers can discover and follow countless narratives throughout the three centuries of American art. [+]Filled with large, expertly reproduced images, The American Art Book is, like its cousins The Photography Book and The 20th Century Art Book, a high-quality and surprisingly inexpensive volume that would be a worthy addition to any art-lover's library. - Loren E. Baldwin, Amazon. com.
