Following in the footsteps of Trolls, Brian and Wendy Froud lead readers deep into the world of faeries. Humans throughout history have always had special relationships and bonds with faeries, whether loving and helpful or at times destructive. This new book explores that complex relationship and the liminal state between the human and faery world where interaction occurs.
In Brian Froud's Faeries' Tales, readers encounter individual faeries, each with a story to uncover, as told by the faeries themselves. Many of the stories are familiar to humans, but the "true" story is told by the faeries. Similar to the Trolls fragments, the faeries' tales are coupled with portraits and interspersed with drawings and studies of the mysterious and enchanting folk who travel back and forth between the human world and theirs.

Теософы признают, что Мир фей представляет собой часть скрытого мира духа, существующего параллельно с нашим материальным миром. Согласно теософическим воззрениям, основная функция фей состоит в том, чтобы впитывать ПРАНУ, или жизненную энергию, от солнца и перераспределять её в материальный мир. Таким образом, цветочные феи - это духи природы, обеспечивающие жизненно важную связь между солнечной энергией и минералами земли, некоторые феи в ответе за строение и окраску цветка, другие трудятся под землёй, у корневой системы. Есть феи, в ведомстве которых молекулярное строение на клеточном уровне; определённые виды фей способствуют развитию мира животных, растений и минералов.

От создателей оскароносных образов "Властелина колец".

A flight of fancy for readers of all ages, this book explores a whole new world charged with the wild beauty of creatures who do not live by human rules. Theirs is a realm of wonder, joy and enchanted danger. The two artists who created this book, Alan Lee and Brian Froud, have studied faerie history, myths, legends and folklore, and embodied their findings in 185 paintings and drawings. All the faerie types are identified and pictured - water faeries, elves, gnomes, pixies, leprechauns, tree faeries, dryads and more. Information on their favourite haunts, pastimes and ways of life are drawn from Celtic stories, oral tradition and from writers and poets. Among these sources are "The Ballad of Thomas the Rhymer", the great poet W.B. Yeats' "The Song of Wandering Aengus", and Christina Rossetti's poem "Goblin Market". Folk stories are traced to their origins, retold and illustrated.

In 1995 Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book was released to an unsuspecting public. Called "an unstoppable phenomenon" by its publisher, it became an immediate international best-seller. Now 2005 can be named the Year of Lady Cottington with the 0th anniversary of the publication that first exposed the world to the science of fairy exploration.

This volume records in authentic facsimile the latest incarnation of this notorious book along with eight additional pages and enhanced artwork thrughout, virtually overflowing with freshly flattened fairies. Former Monty Python member Terry Jones and artist Brian Froud provide a new introduction to place the book in its proper perspective, offering insight into the book's often maligned historic reevance. As a bonus, included is an incriminating DVD showing rare film footage of the elderly Lady Cottington in her garden demonstrating her fairy-squashing technique, as well as a photo gallery, desktop wallpaper, and screensavers.

Goblins come in all shapes and sizes. This gallery of slimy portraits includes such smelly denizens of the Labyrinth as Hallow goblins, the Klutton, Zitzie, Stench and Foregoblins.

If you brought home the first edition, you were in big trouble! If you bring home this new and expanded edition, you are in even
deeper trouble!

Renowned artist Brian Froud and scholar Ari Berk have continued their exploration of the goblin realm. (For the uninformed,
goblins are those maleficent creatures who cause all manner of havoc in the human realm.) Now, thanks largely to Froud’s and
Berk’s continuing carelessness, the viscid and largely nonsensical NEW volume has been unleashed on an unsuspecting public.
Among its pages are new letters of apologies and disclaimers complete with new art; a list of Gargle’s new titles, grants,
entitlements and responsibilities, and sadly much more! Also included is an envelope containing a new talisman that is
guaranteed to ward off goblins.

This study of the Victorian fascination with fairies reveals their significance in Victorian art and literature. Nicola Bown explores what the fairy meant to the Victorians, and why they were so captivated by a figure which nowadays seems trivial and childish. She argues that fairies were a fantasy that allowed the Victorians to escape from their worries about science, technology and the effects of progress. The fairyland they dreamed about was a reconfiguration of their own world, and the fairies who inhabited it were like themselves.
