Hexeleintje #1

A young girl clutching a glowing lantern sits atop a great silver fox, surrounded by a menagerie of whimsical creatures — a dragonfly, a flower-crowned mouse, fish, and more — all rendered in Paola Antista's lush, warmly luminous style. This 2021 Belgian album from Daedalus launches Sylvia Douyé and Paola Antista's Hexeleintje series with the story "Later word ik fantasmagoog!" — a title that hints at a world where magic and wonder are very much a career path. It's an instantly charming package that feels like a cozy autumn adventure waiting to unfold.
