Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 8x0x11; An illustrated compendium of faerie mythology, legends and folklore, the book explores the history, customs and habitat of faeries in the manner of a field guide, complete with hand annotations. Since Faeries first appeared, both authors have become tremendously successful and respected figures in the worlds of film, art, and publishing. But Faeries remains perhaps their most enduring work, a superb exploration of the myths, legends, folklore, and fantasy of the world of the faeries.
A very nice book ,combination of pictures and writing!
To dream away out of the real world in moments of relaxation
A book to cherish!!

Faeries (Brian Froud)
Excellent book. Illustrations were from basic sketches to full illustration, very detailed and imaginative. Stories on the subject of faeries were informative without being too fanciful.
