Summary: A must for believers!
Review: I purchased this book long, long ago, and I now have a child who is very interested in faeries. So it was bought down from the bookshelf, the dust blown off it, and we settled down for a read. I had forgotten what a gem this book is.The illustrations alone are worth the purchase price. If you are interested in fine art, let alone book illustrations, you will apreciate this book. The text is well written and amusing, with a great deal of attention to the smaller details of the small people's lives. And let us not forget the less than nice faeries - the bad faeries who we think are best forgotten. They also get a slice of the action. It is sometimes pleasant to have that little shiver of frightening childhood memories. It is a delightful book. Its not strictly a children's book but you will be very fondly remembered by any child you present this to as a gift. Its not strictly an adult book either, but hey, let's live a little! Leave it on your coffee table and I guarantee everyone will pick it up. Maybe it has its own little bit of magic.

Summary: Sweeps you back to your childhood
Review: Take a good look at the incredible detail in the artwork, each picture is handdrawn, NO CHEAP COMPUTER IMAGES, and they look like they were grabbed right out of a fantasy movie. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY FANTASY LOVER. The book takes each "type" of faerie (but doesn't totally focus on faeries, it also has dwarves, minotaurs, etc...) and then gives a quick description of each. The descriptions are simple yet give enough information to fill you mind with new thoughts and new ideas. IF you don't like the fantasy information that much --- atleast buy it for the artwork --- they are masterpieces in themselves. I myself use them for drawing models... Incredible-Dreamlike-Fulfilling

Summary: The Best Book on Faeries
Review: I found this book in my art class and was supposed to be looking for things to decoate my drawing with from the book, but instead I started reading it. The way this book talks about all kinds of faeries, whether they are good or bad, pretty or ugly, is really captivating. I love it.

Summary: Gorgeous!
Review: I have never seen such gorgeous and detailed art with faeries! The entire book is fascinating. There's some regular handwriting along with typed text, so it gives the reader a break from uniform letters. A lot of the faeries have some sort of folk-tale to them. Some are simply described. The pictures come in such variety! There are paintings, extraordinarily detailed drawings... drawings that look inked. As an 18 year old aspiring fantasy artist (who loves to draw faeries ;o) ) Brian Froud's work is an incredible inspiration! I adore this book so much. It's something you can read over and over... read out of order... I could spend hours alone just looking at the pictures! This is the best faery book I have ever had the pleasure to come across! (So far anyway...:o) )

Summary: Another of Froud's Best works!
Review: Again, David Larkin teams up with Brian Froud for another amazing book on the magical Faeries. If you thought "Lady Cottington's..." was good, this is better. This is a complete guide to Faeries, Pixies, Gnomes and other such creatures. It tells that faeries arent pretty tinkerbelle things, but are watchers of nature. This book is a great gift for any faery believer and a must have to add to your faery collection! I recently got this for christmas, and it makes a wonderful gift to any Faery Believer! Even if they dont, this makes a unique gift!

Summary: Classic Faerie Book
Review: This is a classic book illustrated by Brian Froud and Allan Lee - a cornerstone in my own faerie library! The book gives a very thorough overview of faerie, inluding faerie habits, haunts, flora and species. Marvelous illustrations are magically woven in with the text. This is not the lore of tooth fairies and Tinkerbells; rather, Faeries is based on historical beliefs from different cultures, and takes us through both the light and dark worlds of faerie. Whether you're new to the land of fae, or have already discovered it through Froud's newer books (Good Faeries/Bad Faeries, Lady Cottington's Pressed Faery Book), Faeries is a must-have!

Summary: Lovin' thhhisss awesome book
Review: I am 15 years of age and I absolutelly LOVE this book. The illustraations are some of the most beautiful I've seen in my short life. This is a great book if you are into all of the magical, mystical things of the universe, or, if you just like to learn about other cultures. Or, even if you just want to dress as one in this year's Renasance festival. It even tells you how to be protected from faeries. I'm lovin' this book!
