P. Craig Russell’s The Gentle Giant and Other Stories Fine Art Edition

Following up successful campaigns for P. CRAIG RUSSELL’S JUNGLE BOOK AND OTHER STORIES and P. CRAIG RUSSELL’S SALOME AND OTHER STORIES, we are proud to present this campaign to fund the publication of our third 12″x17″ hardcover Fine Art Edition—this time for P. CRAIG RUSSELL’S THE SELFISH GIANT AND OTHER STORIES!

This beautiful 12″X17″ oversized hardcover features complete stories scanned from P. Craig Russell’s stunning original art! While appearing to be in black & white, each page has been scanned in color to recreate as closely as possible the experience of viewing the actual original art—including blue pencils, notes, art corrections and more. Pages are reproduced at original size on heavy paper stock to provide fans, aficionados and collectors with the best possible reproductions. The book’s final page count is expected to be 148 pages.
