In these hard, stressful, and unusual times artwork can provide a window of escape. Most especially books and music, with their ability to create other worlds into which we can escape for hours. This artist’s book, In Praise of Style, combines both music and books in its ode to the song, Élan, by Nightwish.
For the song, Élan, please see this link to Nightwish’s official youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WsOaSUXRHE
