Faeries

Summary: Magical
Review: When I was a girl I have seen three books; Dwarfes, Faires and Giants. I was enchanted. I didn't buy them then because they were very expensive, and later, I was trying to find all three, but I manage to find only two. Now I have kids of my own and my son, who is three and a half, is apsolutly crazy about Dwarfes and Faires. All I can say is that finding the third book is my wish, and since this became impossible it is a task I would like to fullfil. So, maybe some of you, booklovers can help me with information where I can find Giants made by Brian Fraud and Alan Lee, by Hari 'N Abrams, published by N.Y. Rufus publication back in 1978. All I can say about this books is that I was looking for them 22 years. Two I have found, one I still miss. If someone is trying to find this books for so long - now for kids of her own, should I add anything more?

Summary: Fantasically frightening
Review: I first saw this book when I was 7 when my dad, knowing I loved both art and faeries, brought it home for me from the library. Needless to say, I loved it but several of the more intense drawings scared me! I dog-eared the scariest pages so I could skip over them easily... many years later I came across a copy of it and simply had to buy it. Not only is the art and text inspiring, but it's the kind of book that sticks in your mind over time...

Summary: Beautiful, for both adults and children
Review: I first got this book as a gift when I was 6-7. I lost it and recently found a copy in a bookstore. This book is so dear to me, invoking my imagination as a child and now dear memories. Now I can read the book instead of just enjoying the pictures. Can you believe that is the the same artist involved with the Dark Crystal and Labrinyth? It's absolutely wonderful.

Summary: fisrt real look into faeries, good and bad
Review: I first found this book in thge sci-fi section of my local bookstore, I had seen the cartoon short based on this book and I was interested in the what the book was like. I paged through it thinking it would be a well illustrated tolkien like story, like the animated version. Then after looking through about half a page I was hooked, I couldn't put it down, I stoped reading when the store was closed and the checkout clerk forced the book from my hands, two days later I was back with the price of the book in my wallet. This was the first book I had ever read that actually talked about the evil, dark faeries that your childhood storybooks never talk about, like redcaps, and the unseelie court. I have read this book cover-to-cover several times and I am still finding things in some of the illustrations I hadn't noticed before. If your interested by this book, get yourself a copy of the animated version.

Summary: It helped me beleive in dreaming again...
Review: This book was given to me by a friend in Colorado. I had wandered out into the woods from time to time to catch a thought and found an emptiness that I hadn't realized was there. It fealt like an inability to dream, or imagine. Once I read this book I fealt renewed in the imaginative sense, whole, I dream all the time now, whenever I'm out and about. That little thought that I'm not alone, silly, yet humerous, it's comforting. I love the book. If anyone wants to talk about it with me, I just got an account: [e-mail] :feel free. I'll dream with ya

Summary: The most incredible book in the history of writing!!!
Review: Faeries send you into a world of goblins and kelpies in the land of Faeries. The realism that Lee and Froud give the illustrations and text is fabulous and they do not lose the realities of faeries to popular belief; they don't include false delicate butterfly-winged creatures but miscievious and sometimes deadly tricksters. I highly recommend Faeries to anyone who has ever read a line and for those who haven't I pity greatly. BRAVO !!! MR. FROUD AND MR.LEE!!!

Summary: My favourite book in our world!
Review: Ever since I grew up, I have beleived in faeries. Well, I grew up with this book! I have read Faeries around 50 times cover to cover since I was nine.( now I am 13) What I don't understand:why not put more photographs at the end? Faeries is very interesting and I would reccomend it to anyone who knows how to read.(and I have knowledge that young&old like it because my grandmother, my mother and I used to read it together) Brian Froud certainly captures the beauty of a mysterious world perfectly!
