L'Herbier des fées

Benjamin Lacombe, born in 1982, is one of the figureheads of French
illustration. He has thrown himself into digital books with the enthusiasm of
a pioneer discovering an infinite field of new narrative possibilities. In
this book set in the 19th century, he tells the story of a distinguished
Russian botanist who is sent to the legendary Brocliande forest in search of
an elixir of immortality. Through his observations, the discovery of strange
little fairies will change his life forever.

This enhanced eBook is a real jewel offering a wide range of varied
interactions: immersion in the illustrations, selective readings of fictional
archive documents, fade-outs of flowers and butterflies, gracious moves of
flying fairies and delicate color variations that contribute to make the
forest alive for the reader. The eBook also includes seven short 2D animated
films that are moving testimonies of the scientists adventure.

The Fairy Herbarium was awarded the special Pépites numériques prize at the
Salon du Livre Jeunesse of Montreuil.
