Summary: The best Faery book I've ever read!
Review: "Faeries: 25th Anniversery edition" is a master peice! Brian Foud truley outdid himself this time! For all the Brian Froud fans and fairy lovers out there, this book is highly recommended. In this 25th anneversery addition Of "Faries", Brian Froud adds new artwork. The book is about different kinds of faeries and a lot of other mythological creatures! The book contains a lot of brilliant stories of and beautiful, detailed artwork. The only problem I saw in this book was the way some of the stories were written. They were written in a way that I could hardly read. Other than that, this book is fabulous!

Summary: An Educational Work of Art
Review: This book can be aptly called beauty at its best. Not only is it informative by giving the
reader descriptions of numerous creatures of folklore, but the pictures are gorgeous!...
Each creature is drawn with a realisticism worthy of museum display, and even if you're looking to
purchase this book for someone who can't read
the text for themselves, they'll be delighted
by the drawings.
Definitely a must-have for anyone who collects
works on mythology. A warning, however. Some
of the pictures do contain nudity, so you might want to use discretion with younger readers.

Review: Absolutely wonderful writing and incredible pictures. I like the format of this book in that its a mix of hand written pencil notes along with regular type font for the main text. The drwaings are fantastic - wonderful expressions, outfits, colors. There are legends and such to set the stage before talking about each of the different faeries and other characters. Each faery discussed has a page devoted with a short text and drawings. The writing enlightens the imagination.

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!

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.....

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.

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!!

Summary: one of a kind book :)
Review: Do you believe in faeries? After reading this you'll want to. There are plenty of books about faeries out there - what makes this one unique is that it is written as a field guide and it is full of beautiful (and I do mean beautiful) paintings and drawings of the creatures described. The book is titled Faeries, but it also contains goblins, witches, selkies and the like. Not only is it fun to read and look at, but if you draw, it's a great artistic reference. (Many of the illustrations in Faeries are used as tattoos today.) Brian Froud is an amazing artist himself and he helped design the creatures in movies such as the Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. Buy this book if you loved fairy tales as a kid.
