Good Faeries, Bad Faeries by Brian Froud

This is an absolute masterpiece, a treasure of a book and we're so delighted to have it back in stock again...
 
Following in the footsteps of his popular Trolls and faeries books, Brian Froud leads readers deeply into the world of Faeries. Humans throughout history have always had special relationships and bonds with faeries, whether loving and helpful or at times destructive. This new book explores that complex relationship and the liminal state between the human and faery world where meeting and interaction occur.

This book is especially unique as it reads from front to back as 'Good Faeries' and from back to front as 'Bad Faeries'. Incredible illustrations truly bring this book to life. A definite keeper!
 
In Brian Froud's Faeries' Tales, readers encounter individual faeries, each with a story to uncover, as told by the faeries themselves. Many of the stories are familiar to humans, but the "true" story is told by the faeries. Similar to the Trolls fragments, the faeries' tales are coupled with portraits and interspersed with drawings and studies of the mysterious and enchanting folk who flit back and forth between the human world and theirs.
