5.0 out of 5 stars Quirky, curious, odd and bizarre, November 11, 2005
By deLYSH (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
If you are looking for a book of cute little critters then this one is not for you. The figures are rather odd but very expressive. Most are neither person or animal; many with armour, cloaks, single socks and scabbards. It is a truly bizarre collection but for someone looking for something very different, this book is a gem.

The drawings are line drawings with a little 'texture'. They would be great for altered books, collage or card art. I've taken to painting mine with twinkling H20s for a vibrant watercolour which suits these unusual creations.

As with many Dover books - you can use up to ten images in your art copyright free. These are so delectable that one is all you need to make a statement.
