The Dark Crystal is a 1982 fantasy film directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz. From this magical movie comes this superbly detailed Landstrider statue. Landstriders are a race of forest-dwelling animals in the Jim Henson film that are known for their rapid traveling speed and high intelligence. Stunningly sculpted, this fascinating rendering of Kira atop a Landstrider stands 16" tall, is crafted from polyresin, and comes in a thematic display box.*
The sequel to Faeries, again beautifully illustrated with new material by Froud. First half of the book deals with the good faeries, turn the book over and you get the bad ones. Hardback.*
