Bergsma has certainly earned her acclaim as an illustrator -- her work here demonstrates a steady hand and keen eye when it comes to turning text into vivid landscapes peopled with lively, memorable, big-eyed characters.But nothing about the story leaps out and draws its audience into the action. The plot plods along with little action and few surprises. What Bergsma lacks as a storyteller in Faerie, she more than makes up as an artist. I'd love to see more of her illustrated books -- especially if someone else pens the tale.

The art is worth the price. Forget the verbiage.
Bergsma is an excellant illustrator. Pray that she gets paired with an excellant children's writer one day.
