Book Reviews of The Book of Ballads
Book Review: A Purchase Worth your Money and Time
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of Charles Vess's art since I first saw him in Sandman and Stardust, and to be honest this book was not only a delightful display of his talent but also an enjoying book of ballads and tales from yore.
Although is black and white, Charles is able to use this on his favor, from exquisite textures to intricate patterns; he surely knows how to visually please his readers. Also each story ends with the original ballad or tale it was based upon, which was a nice addition in order for the reader to get an idea from where it came from and enjoy this past tradition.
So if you are into Charle Vess (which you should be!!) and also enjoy vivid tales from ballads and fairy folk, this book is definitely worth your money and time!! So go ahead and enjoy!!
