ANGELS / Review

Angels
 From the Publisher:
Whether you consider angels to be divine messengers, spiritual guides, or the stuff of
legend, you will find something to marvel at in Chuck Fischer’s beautifully
illustrated Angels: A Pop-Up Book.
Fischer’s original art, inspired by classic images from art history, is crafted
into astoundingly intricate three-dimensional pop-ups with fold-outs and
moveable parts. Angels brings to life
the most captivating stories of these celestial beings, from the angels of the
zodiac to Biblical angels to angels in the arts and popular culture. Much like
its subject, Angels: A Pop-Up Book inspires
awe and wonder and is a unique gift book for all ages.
About the Author:

Chuck Fischer’s paintings hang in some of the finest residences in the world. His designs have been reproduced on holiday ornaments and home furnishings, including wallpaper and fabrics in the permanent collection of the Cooper-Hewitt Museum. He is the author of five previous pop-up books–The White House, Great American Houses and Gardens, Christmas in New York, Christmas Around the World, and the forthcoming In The Beginning. He lives in New York and Florida.

My Review:
I’ve never seen anything like this before. 
Sure, I’ve seen pop-up books,
but nothing I’ve seen can compare.
Angels is amazing.  The detail is superb.
Filled with information on angels of antiquity,
the hierarchy of angels, secular angels, the angels of the Zodiac,
and the Archangels, Michael and Gabriel.
Each pop-up is a true work of art.
Angels is absolutely beautiful!
