Frances #3

The third installment of Joanna Hellgren's Frances series arrives from Ordfront Galago with a cover that feels quietly haunting — a young child gazes out across a misty, softly rendered landscape, surrounded by delicate pencil-drawn reeds and the shadowy suggestion of trees overhead. Hellgren's restrained, pencil-sketched style gives the image a dreamlike stillness that draws you in rather than shouting for attention. This 2012 Swedish series has a gentle, introspective quality that sets it apart from the crowd.
