The Art of Fantasy : A visual sourcebook of all that is unreal is a beautiful compendium of fantasy, myth and legend in art form. It is full of imaginary worlds, mythical creatures and details pictures throughout history. It is a pleasure for the eyes, and would make a lovely coffee table book to get lost in. It is also a great resource for fantasy artists and myth and legend lovers alike.

I loved the artwork chosen for this book.
Some beautiful, some whimsical, some deeply disturbing. It includes everything for Dali to Gaiman, while making sure to send nods to my personal favorites, which are Kinuko Craft and Brian Froud.

This book is so beautiful, so fantastic, I’m definitely preordering a copy for my bookshelf because I need a physical copy so I can look at the pictures even closer. Somany beautiful pictures from across the centuries, some I had seen before, most completely new to me. These are divided into sections such as almost human, impossible monsters, in our dreams, faith and philosophy , forgotten realms and wonderlands , creatures great and small, time travel, alternative and parallel universes, howto save the world, worlds apart, and magic is real. Each section discusses the history behind each part, mythology, it’s such an interesting and beautiful book, I’m going to spendshours trawling through this again and again, a must read, buy or borrow for fans of art or fantasy, if you’re both like me it’s just heavenly. If I could give 10 stars I would

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
