"A cloth of rare delight." -- James Gurney, author of Dinotopia ."exquisitely detailed.

"A cloth of rare delight." --James Gurney, author of Dinotopia "This artist is keeping myth alive, and creating a magic all his own." --Terri Windling " A cloth of rare delight." --James Gurney, author of "Dinotopia," on "The Book of Ballads" " [Vess' s] exquisitely detailed art delightfully recalls the Pre-Raphaelites here, Aubrey Beardsley there and elsewhere Winsor McCay or Gustave Dore ...
