Hexeleintje #1

A young girl clutching a glowing lantern sits atop a massive, luminous fox, surrounded by a delightful menagerie of fantastical creatures — dragonflies, fish, a hedgehog nestled in a flower, and more — all rendered in Paola Antista's richly atmospheric art. This 2021 Daedalus release launches the Dutch-language Hexeleintje series with the opening chapter "Later word ik fantasmagoog!" ("One Day I'll Be a Phantasmagogue!"), written by Sylvia Douyé. The warm amber glow of the lantern against the deep teal background gives the whole cover an enchanting, fairy-tale quality that makes this an immediately inviting read for fans of magical-adventure storytelling.
