You are witness to something few humans ever see. The sweet
smell of incense carried on the breeze has awoken you from your
rest in the woods and you capture a glimpse of the king and queen
of the faeries passing by. "This is not the May Day parade
or a Coronation," James C. Christensen explains. "Simply,
this is The Royal Processional - just your regular, everyday
king and queen of the Faeries entourage."
Inspired by the grand processions of history, fiction and
movies, Christensen provides a glimpse of the faerie world by
fashioning an eclectic parade of fantasy forest denizens. "The
king in the armor is Oberon and the queen is Tatiana," says
Christensen. "They are the rulers of the Faeries. Other
fascinating creatures waiting to be discovered are their laughing
faeries-in-waiting, their old prime minister with the butterfly
banner, the young wizard-in-training with his nose in a book,
and the incense bearers to alert - by smell - the other forest
creatures." |
