The Inuit Way is a mesmerising take on Polar travel by explorer and award-winning researcher Edward Cooper.

From Fantasy brand Nemesis Now, this beautiful Fairy figurine is perfect from bringing some serenity into your life. Lying on a snow-covered forest floor, this white Unicorn is subtly shaded with pearlescent yellows, pinks and blues. Their long white mane hangs down as their head is turned, golden horn proudly pointing forwards. They are gazing towards a young, purple-haired Fairy, leaning on their right flank and seemingly asleep, her blue and purple butterfly wings unfurled behind her. Her long jade green skirt flows along the ground around her, and her thigh has a curling purple motif tattooed on - the same motif as is on the Unicorn's front. Cast in the finest resin before being lovingly hand-painted, this fantastic Fantasy figure is a great way to add an aura of calm and magic to any room.
