Rating: Summary: I think it's great, and everyone should have a copy! Review: In Fearies uncover the legend and lore of Feariedom; which is beyond the mind's wildest dreams, but not the dreams of your heart and soul. Discover the Fearie's ways while reading the text written there and examining the illustrations drawn on the pages made for this one book. Purchase this book and be ready to be amazed by Brian Froud's wonderful illustrations and dive into the world of the Fearies. I liked this book very much. It fascinates me in many ways, especially Brian Froud's beautiful illustrations. I hope you'll buy it soon!
Rating: Summary: the most comprehensive faerie guide around! Review: I've always been entranced by the faerie realm. This book weaves a spell over the common folk! Not only does Foud and Lee depict the various form of fae (seelie, unseelie, goblins, etc.); they also share the stories surrounding these mystical creatures. This campodium embodies the world of fae, and exquisitely transcends the mortal realm...letting us mortals dance but for a moment in their circle.
Rating: Summary: Magnificent! Bravo! Kudos! Can you tell I love this book? Review: Anyone with half an imagination will be moved and inspired by the lovely art and in-depth narratives. With a last name like Fitzpatrick I cannot but relate to the world of the Fae that the authors have so delightfully described....OH! To dance in a field of Faeries!! OH!! To swim with Selkies and walk with Witches!! With this book, I feel like I almost can.....
Rating: Summary: absolutely wonderful!!! Review: This was the first book I got that was by Brian Froud, and honestly it was pure chance that I recieved this book. However, fate didn't dissapoint me with this one. This book is so informative, I just loved it, and still do. The pictures are fantastic and some beyond belief that they were created by mortal hands. If it were not for this book I probably would not have been taken in by the world of faerie but I'm glad I was.
Rating: Summary: My all time favorite book Review: Brian Froud is a mastermind. As a young artist myself....I grew up with this book..and it practically tought me to draw. I could never imagine life without it..I've just always had it. And I could never tire of it. It ages beautifully with its owner..all ages can read into it in different ways....as I have found...its stories change as I get older. If ANYONE out there has a copy of Brian Frouds Land of the Dark Crystal....please let me know...I'd love to purchase a copy!!
Rating: Summary: Beautiful, enchanting, surreal and exquisite. Review: This was the book where I first encountered the artists Froud and Lee, and also where I discovered that faeries are indeed either ugly or beautiful, old and young; everything I had ever hoped and imagined, and more. Froud and Lee's breathtaking and altogether masterly portrayal of the intrinsic, metamorphic world of fantasy forever hovering at our fingertips, is truly masterly, and I have never encountered another yet which rates quite as highly as this. I would definately recommend this book to anyone who loves faeries, and/or queries the 'pretty' flower-faeries we tend to be bombarded with today. s This book has all my dreams, nightmares and fantasies woven together in it's intricate, detailed illustrations, the thick, scrawling lead pencil script... I cannot find the words to speak highly enough of this simply unique, marvellous book. I am an avid admirer of Froud and Lee's works, the faery-kingdom, faery poetry, stories, tales, photographs, illustrations, and can never have enough information on that mystical kingdom where people such as Thomas the Rhymer and Tam Lin vanish to, where a cup of wine can bind you a prisoner, where the young are old, and the old are yound, where anything is possible whether you believe or not. I for one, do strongly believe in faeries, and wish that I could see one. This book is - where are the words to describe it? Magnificent/Fabulous/Beautiful/Moving/Terrifying/Fantastic/Eye-opening - they are only some... I would like to congratulate Lee and Froud on their admirable skill for illustrations, the publishers for - well - publishing this book, and all the readers out there who fell in love with this book, which is a gift from faeryland itself.
Rating: Summary: Beautiful and inspired work Review: I love the work of Brian Froud having grown up watching movies such as Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal. The pictures in this collection of his work are astounding. He never fails to amaze me with the quality of his work.
Rating: Summary: The Faerie world can't even complain about this book!!! Review: As an artist I can say that this book has some of the most stunningly beautiful artwork ever seen in a book of this nature. The fact are believable as well as interesting. I don't know of anyone, even if they've only glanced at it , that hasn't been entranced and delighted by this book.
Rating: Summary: Not All That Great Review: I was expecting beautiful pictures of flower fairies with gossamer wings and dresses of silk. What I found were ugly pictures of scary, hideous monster-like "fairies." What a disappointment!
