Crones, hags & witches vilified & stereotyped as cruel, evil & wicked in most folklore & fairy tales, were in fact once the spiritual leaders, healers & midwives of their communities. Highly respected & esteemed as imparters of lived knowledge

To me Alan Lee is one of those quiet artists that somehow never got the exposure they deserved. He is for instance the co-author of many illustrations of the Faery book with Froud, and most of the time his works are the ones that convey more weight, authenticity and atmosphere.
