I want to give people a glimpse of the “what if” to ignite their imagination, to bring them back to their childhood and to say it’s okay to look at ordinary things with extraordinary eyes.Davvero imperdibile per gli appassionati di magia, del piccolo popolo e delle creature fantastiche in generale.

Uumlber den AutorrnrnIris Compiet is your guide to the Faultlines, a world filled with faeries and creatures from beyond the veil. For example, the author mentions complex social structures of this faerie or that, but then never explains said structures.

Una guida completamente illustrata, ricchissima di bozzetti e stupendi disegni dai colori quasi acquerellati, alle magiche, misteriose e spesso pericolose creature che dimorano nella Faglia, un Altrove nascosto che, a volte, si svela agli umani.
