I love Juliet Marillier's books so I had seen her art on some of those covers but I hadn't realized that it's the same artist who did covers for McKillip as well! All her illustrations and covers are so gorgeous and magical that it's hard to choose a favorite, but I think I'd have to say "Beauty's Cottage". I love the forest and the mountains in the background in that one. (And I'd love to enter the giveaway.)

People say, "don't judge a book by its cover", but that's exactly what I do when I see any book illustrated by Craft: I will immediately want to pick it up and flip through to admire the gorgeous art. My favorite picture book cover of hers is "The Twelve Dancing Princesses". I've seen many different artistic interpretations for that particular fairytale, but IMO Craft's artwork is by far the most mature and thematically profound of all.

@kristenroper667 Год назад

Ugh so hard to pick a favorite but since I’m a die hard fan of Beauty and the Beast I’ll go with that one. Thank you for bringing this book to our attention and as always, thank you so much for what you do ❤

Ah, so many of these are familiar from my collection of fantasy books. What a stunning collection! Another lovely volume to add to my wish list.

@@BeautifulBooks Hi Daisy, Thanks for this opportunity!! So exciting! What a joy it would be to own a copy of this gorgeous book!! Love the Fairy Tale paintings ... Cinderella etc. Cheers!

All of her work is stunning, but if I had to choose a cover it would be "Sleeping Beauty". It is just so mesmerizing✨️

This book is BEAUTIFUL! I think my favorite cover is In the Forests of Serre by Patricia A. McKillip. Although it is so hard to choose.

New sub here, and as a fellow beautiful book lover/collector I'm just loving this channel! I've been collecting Ky Craft's children's books, but funnily enough I didn't even realize the fantasy covers were here art even though I already have several of those...can't believe I didn't make the connection haha. Definitely planning to order this gorgeous compilation book!

I would have to pick Beauty and the Beast! Although it would feel unfair to not also mention Cinderella 😍

All of her artwork is so beautiful, but my favorite has to be the cover for “In the Forests of Serre” by Patricia A. McKillip. 💜

Her artwork really is amazing, so ethereal. My favorite cover is probably för Sleeping Beauty.

I want to participate in the giveaway. My favorite Kinuko cover is for Harrowing The Dragon.

Quite hard to pick but I think I'll go for the Sleeping Beauty one. There's a lot of Key Nielsen cues in the backgrounds as well as Pre-Raphaelite features in those faces. Followed closely by East of the Sun/West of the Moon. Just utterly lovely stuff. Thanks for the opportunity!
