David Ellwand Libri

This sublime and well-designed book answers the frequently whispered question: What do well-dressed fairies wear when they leave their gossamer realm? Fairie haute couture specialists David Ellwand and Eugenie Bird present nearly 150 delicate outfits fit for any fairie queen. David Downton, one of Europe's leading fashion artists, illustrates these dresses, jackets, trousers, shoes, hats, and, dare we say, unmentionables, in full, sprightly color. Adding to the magic is the fact that all of these fairie fashions were magically crafted from feathers, flower petals, shells, seeds, and other materials from nature!

Little ones will have plenty of fun singing along to this classic nursery rhyme. Complete with sound module!Critically acclaimed photographer David Ellwand has created a sweet, whimsical world starring antique toys, including a lovable teddy bear and his farmyard friends.Through the use of die-cutting, this book tells the story of 'Old Macdonald had a Farm'. The holes in the page are designed to draw the reader on through the book.

Even non-teddy bear fans will love this fresh version of a classic nursery song. Beautifully photographed, the big board book features 10 old-fashioned plush teddy bears that "Roll over! Roll over!" until nine of them have fallen out of bed, leaving the littlest one by himself and, to his surprise, lonely. In a friendly twist on the original, the small bear, rather than saying "Good night!" invites his neighbors back in: "So they all jumped up and got back in... There were 10 in the bed and the little one said, "Night, night!" The clever design portrays the bears in different poses—crossed arms, turned heads, flipped bodies—on each page, making it seem as though even their expressions change. The spreads are divided between the white bed on the left and the pastel background on the right, on which the ousted teddies tumble. Toddlers will enjoy counting down from 10, and watching the space allotted the bed shrink while the right side grows to accommodate the falling bears.

From bold to bashful, bewildered to beautiful, this book bursts with babies! Sharp, silvery-toned black-and-white photography captures a multitude of first expressions that will entrance both young and old alike. Sturdy pages and a reinforced hardcover binding give this book the additional advantage of durability, reading after reading.

Es gibt Orte, denen sollte man lieber fernbleiben. Als der Fotograf David Ellwand eines Tages einen wunderlichen Lochstein findet und hindurchsieht, gerät er in einen unwiderstehlichen Sog, der ihn zunächst zu einer geheimnisvollen Kiste führt. Seine Nachforschungen, die er mit zahlreichen Fotos dokumentiert, enthüllen eine Geschichte von Forschern und Suchenden, vom Hochmut der Menschen und von Wesen aus der Anderswelt, die sich gegen Eindringlinge in ihr Reich zur Wehr setzen. Das Ende der Geschichte ist überraschend - und kommt so plötzlich wie das Blitzlicht einer Kamera.
