This beautiful book features the work of the fantastically talented doll-maker, puppet-maker (Yoda is one of hers), and sculptor, Wendy Froud. She has worked on The Muppets, the movies Labyrinth, The Empire Strikes Back, The Dark Crystal. She has also used her works to illustrate children's books.

Wendy Froud is able to work in a variety of styles and moods, as evidenced by this book. The photographs are beautifully done: it's hard to believe sometimes that these are pictures of dolls and not paintings.

Nudity alert: some of the dolls are either bare-breasted or completely nude. Doesn't bother me, but parents may want to flip through before leaving the book for the kiddies.

This should appeal to loves of fantasy art and dolls.

A superb book! ( )
