AuthorDavid Macaulay
ISBN0395257840
The word itself conjures up mystery, romance, intrigue, and grandeur.

Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book
AuthorTerry Jones
ISBN1857933362
Based on the series of turn-of-the-century photos of the supposed “Cottingley Fairies”, Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy Book is definitely not a children’s book, but rather a morbid fantasy told through journal entries about a horrid imp of a girl who makes a hobby of crushing fairies in...
Faeries
AuthorBrian Froud
I bought this book for my wife some years ago. She was an artist and very talented. Near the end of her life one of the subjects she was beginning to work with was "fantasy subjects" including faeries. She was (as I said above) very talented and throughout her life as she would pick up different techniques...

AuthorJohn Vornholt
ISBN0679869824
I wasn't expecting to like this book as much as the first, but I did. There is none of the perceived perfectionism that many seem to see in the first one. These are just regular people trying their best in a rather unique society. This works very well as a coming of age story for the main character—a young...

Freddy Krueger getting a paragraph was the last straw for me (page 45). This is a lousy book. It is one of those pathological fantasy "authorities" which redefines its subject to include many, many things which don't belong (e.g. deities and Asian monsters).


The cover art is beautiful,...
AuthorKit Williams
Certain books are just shot through with nostalgia, to the point where all you have to do is open them, and you're transported back to childhood. Masquerade is one of those books for me, I had the great luck to have been living on an RAF base in the UK when this came out, and my elementary school class fell immediately...

Anyone who brings home this book will be in big trouble. Renowned artist Brian Froud and scholar Ari Berk have conducted a thorough investigation into the goblin realm.
