DARTMOOR NATIONAL PARK,
DEVON, ENGLAND
“As I walked the extraordinary landscape of Dartmoor, I looked at the trees and the rocks and the hills and I could see the personality in those forms . . . then they metamorphosed under my pencil into faeries, goblins and trolls.”
—BRIAN FROUD, BRITISH FANTASY ILLUSTRATOR

HAVANA
CUBA

The year's highlight is December's International Jazz Festival, with musicians from around the world performing alongside Cuba's revered old-time stars.
