La cachette des fées #[nn]

Part of Mosquito's "Raconteur d'images" line, La Cachette des fées presents Capucine Mazille's dreamy, painterly world in which a young woman in a sweeping violet gown stands entwined with a large hawk-headed figure among misty woodland trees. The cover's soft, fairy-tale palette — speckled tights, warm earthy feathers, and that deep blue skirt — gives the whole thing the feeling of a storybook illustration elevated to fine-art ambition. At 20 EUR from Mosquito's 2016 catalog, it's an elegant introduction to Mazille's enchanting vision of the fantastical hidden just beneath the natural world.
