books by Brian Froud     books:       Goblins!9 reviews Brian Froud, Ari Berk Harry N. Abrams, 2004 Finally something different Another amazing Froud book. I love this one because its very funny and it shows a darker side of the Fae. Its not the typical pretty faery book. The pictures are (as always) really great. Another Froudian must have.             Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book : 10 3/4 Anniversary Edition16 reviews Brian Froud, Terry Jones, 2005 Fantastic as always This is a review and comment on other comments. :) The Lady Cottington Faery books are a lot of fun. For those of you who believe in faeries, like I do, I certainly hope your image of faeries are not perfect, beautiful, tiny women with wings. The images in this book are gogeous, unique, and all of Brian Froud's work fits what I believe a faery looks like. For those of you who are upset that ...             The Goblins of Labyrinth: 20th Anniversary Edition8 reviews Brian Froud, Terry Jones "Harry N. Abrams, Inc.", 2006 amazing artwork I bought this book for my girlfriend, that loved it when she was little, but lost the book in a moving. This book is really charming and very imaginative. The explanations and names of the creatures are very amusing, the illustrations are amazing, and the talent of the author shows. However, it is more a goblin catalog than a fantasy book or novel, so be sure of what you are buying. It is ...             The Runes of Elfland11 reviews Ari Berk, Brian Froud Harry N. Abrams, 2003 Praise for "The Runes of Elfland" In the Age of Technology, it is a testament to myth's eternal power to inspire that a book like "The Runes of Elfland" by Brian Froud and Dr. Ari Berk has come into being. At once whimsical, passionate, solemn, and joyful, each page is a gift, a fresh breeze that blows across the mind and takes the reader to a special place uncorrupted by that which is easily acquired and jealously owned. Myth ...             World of Faerie 2009 Wall Calendar (Calendar) Brian Froud Sellers Publishing Inc, 2008 The beauty & mystique of the illusive faerie is stunningly illustrated by Brian Froud.

They posses a magic and love beyond words             Brian Froud's World of Faerie11 reviews Brian Froud Insight Editions, 2007 PURE GENIUS What else can be said about Brian Froud, other than the fact that he is brilliant and overwhelmingly talented? I own every one of his publications, including a first edition 1978 book, "The wind between the stars". Brian's imagination can't be touched. I, too am an artist and his drawings and movies inspire the living daylights out of me.             Faeries (25th Anniversary Edition)76 reviews Harry N. Abrams, 2002 faeries I had this book as a young person and loved it. this is a replacement of a long lost friend. The illistrations are exceptional and the stories wonderful.             The World of the Dark Crystal: The Collector's Edition26 reviews Brian Froud Harry N. Abrams, 2003 Froud's Majestic Vision Combining the talents of Jim Henson's storytelling with Brian Froud's exquisite art, The Dark Crystal is an amazing film. The World of the Dark Crystal is a must-have companion piece to the film. On its pages are inscribed in detail the epic story's conceptualization and the process of designing its beautifully imagined characters and creatures. The book contains rare artwork by the ingenious ...             Good Faeries Bad Faeries75 reviews Brian Froud Simon & Schuster, 1998 Fairies! I absolutely LOVE this book, as I have his other two, "Lady Cottinigton's Pressed Fairie Book" and "Good Fairies, Bad Fairies." Froud's fairies seem more real to me than the cutsey fairies you see elsewhere, and I love his stories and descriptions. Had me giggling for hours.             Master Snickup's Cloak4 reviews Alexander Theroux Harper & Row, 1979 Beautiful, charming, haunting. Odd. Not for children. "One morning it was...the Middle Ages" begins this dark fable. Young Snickup and the divinely beautiful Superfecta, two wards of an orphanage in a small village in the Netherlands, seem utterly devoted to one another. When of age, they are betrothed and exchange betrothal gifts...two white doves for Superfecta, a wondrous blue cloak for young Master Snickup. An excellent match. All seems perfect. ...             Lady Cottington's Pocket Pressed Fairy Book2 reviews Terry Jones Pavilion Books, 2000 Shrunken Faries This book is a beautiful shrunken version of the "Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book". It is an exact replica only about 1/8th the size of the original, which is something to be aware of if purchasing for yourself. This book makes a great gift book for almost anybody, the story is comical and the art work breathtaking.             The Goblin Companion7 reviews Terry Jones Pavilion Books, 2003 Great book, but rather odd... A splendid blend of hilarious text and even-more-hilarious art, The Goblin Companion is great for the accomplished goblinologist, on for the dedicated fan of the movie Labyrinth.             Strange Stains and Mysterious Smells: Based on Quentin Cottington's Journal of Faery Research12 reviews Terry Jones Simon & Schuster, 1996 Rather inventive Hilarious and all-together head-scratching, as you find yourself realizing they're talking about something you've been wondering about all along. You may have thought you were the only one undergoing the cruel and unusual punishment of these noxious fumes and stains, but here you find you are not alone... If you're going to read this aloud as a bed-time book or as a book of quotations, you are ...             Lady Cottington's Fairy Album11 reviews Brian Froud Pavilion Books, 2002 A Must Have! I really liked this book. I'm so glad that Brian Froud continued on with the Cottington story. When I first heard about Brian Froud back in the early 90's, it was very difficult to find Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy's in stock. I had to order it from England. The art is so original, I have just about all of Froud's books. I'm alittle disappointed though that this artist has become ...             Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Journal24 reviews Terry Jones Stewart Tabori & Chang, 1999 From the Birth of Moonhopper to Fairy Eve's Year News.... If you're a fan of the Cottington fairy lore (the Pressed Fairy Book, Strange Stains and Mysterious Smells, and you might as well include the Goblin Companion since it too is made by the wonderful team of Froud and Jones), you'll never run out of holidays, or, as I call them, Excuses to Play Kazoo, Blow Bubbles, And Generally Make A Fool Of Myself. Some olidays are for elves or pixies or goblins ...             Are All the Giants Dead?4 reviews Mary Norton Magic Carpet Books, 1997 Highly recommended This wonderful book was written in 1975 by Mary Norton (1903-92), the author of the incomparable Borrowers stories. It tells the story of James, whose dream takes him to a distant land, where he meets many of the characters of old folktales, such as Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Jack-the-Giant-Slayer and Jack-of-the-Beanstalk. But, they are all old now, and past adventures. ...             The Art of Faery15 reviews David Riche Paper Tiger, 2003 World of Magic This book was what first inspired me to begin a collection of fairy art books and what deepened my connection with the beauty of faery. All the artwork in here is magnificent and some of the pictures are the most strikingly gorgeous and evocative images I've ever seen. It never fails to impress me or move me when I enter its pages. Some of the very best and well-known fairy artists share their ...             The Winter Child7 reviews Wendy Froud, John Lawrence Jones, ... Simon & Schuster, 2001 Magical tale This is an extremely beautiful book. With Wendy Froud's doll making skills and Terri Windling's magical story weaving, teamed up with Brian Froud well, it sounds too good to be true. This follow up to "A Midsummer Night's Faery Tale" did not disappoint. Sneezle, our beloved hero from the first book, is again teamed up with his friend Twig for a quest to find out why Winter has not yet ...             Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Letters7 reviews Brian Froud, Ari Berk "Harry N. Abrams, Inc.", 2005 Faerie Wonderful This book is so nice I bought one for my mom for her birthday! Of course it was part of a huge stack we took to have Brian Froud sign - which makes it even more sweet! Very funny reading and the drawings are just fabulous!              search for books anniversary, calendar, collector, companion, cottington, crystal, edition, elfland, faerie, faeries, faery, giants, goblin, goblins, journal, labyrinth, letters, master, mysterious, oracle, pocket, pressed, quentin, research, smells, snickup, stains, strange, winter, world books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
