Book Reviews of Faeries
Book Review: It helped me beleive in dreaming again...
Summary: 5 Stars
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: jasper_47@hotmail.com :feel free. I'll dream with yaBook Review: Magical

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?Book Review: More faeries in store!
Summary: 5 Stars
It has been almost twenty years since Brian Froud and Alan Lee published this groundbreaking art book based on British faery lore. In the years since, Brian Froud has never stopped his extensive personal exploration of the faery realms--filling his studio in rural England with one extraodinary painting after another. Fans of his work will be pleased to know that a brand new book of faery lore (GOOD FAERIES, BAD FAERIES by Brian Froud, edited by Terri Windling) will be soon be available (Autumn 1998). The new book goes beyond the ancient faery lore of the Britist Isles to explore faery lore from all around the world...include faeries of the present day, bringing magic to modern life. For a taste of the forthcoming book, an article about it from Realms of Fantasy Magazine can be found reprinted on the Endicott Studio web site (Gallery section)Book Review: My favourite book in our world!

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!Book Review: Sweeps you back to your childhood
Summary: 5 Stars
Take a good look at the incredible detail in the artwork, each picture is handdrawn, NO CHEAP COMPUTER IMAGES, and they look like they were grabbed right out of a fantasy movie. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY FANTASY LOVER.The book takes each "type" of faerie (but doesn't totally focus on faeries, it also has dwarves, minotaurs, etc...) and then gives a quick description of each. The descriptions are simple yet give enough information to fill you mind with new thoughts and new ideas.
IF you don't like the fantasy information that much --- atleast buy it for the artwork --- they are masterpieces in themselves. I myself use them for drawing models...
