Summary

Attend the wedding of a lifetime along with the honored guests-including one human: the artist invited to create an unforgettable portrait of the happy couple. Journey with him to the faerie kingdom, peer into his sketchbook and notes, and learn to capture the many faces and forms found in this enchanted land. Dashing archers and swordsmen, winged faeries in flight and at rest, little faeries in flight school, noble royalty and humble workers, wizards and magical beasts...the artist reveals all the denizens of the kingdom, in detailed sketches and rich artworks, presented so that faerie fans everywhere can re-create the mystical land for themselves. The heartwarming story of Princess Ambrosia and her new peasant prince-and how they overcame the evil Ulrich to be united at last-adds an extra dimension of drama and romance. Book jacket.
