Book Reviews of Faeries
Book Review: The most incredible book in the history of writing!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Faeries send you into a world of goblins and kelpies in the land of Faeries. The realism that Lee and Froud give the illustrations and text is fabulous and they do not lose the realities of faeries to popular belief; they don't include false delicate butterfly-winged creatures but miscievious and sometimes deadly tricksters. I highly recommend Faeries to anyone who has ever read a line and for those who haven't I pity greatly. BRAVO !!! MR. FROUD AND MR.LEE!!!Book Review: Well worth the wait !!

I first saw this book in a store while attending University and fell instantly in love. I have waited 10 long years to own a copy of my own and finally I have it !!! I am familiar with the works of both Mr. Froud and Mr. Lee -- through my friend and author, Anna Marie Ferguson ( Legend : the Arthurian Tarot ). This book should be on the shelves of every child, so that they may keep the path to their imaginations open. Had this book been in my posession years ago, I know without a doubt it would have provided both comfort and inspiration to a young girl seeking a path to the land of the Fey. I have yet the words to describe what this book means to me. I will treasure it for the rest of my days - and entrust a copy to as many as possible.I, too am in the process of choosing one of these exquisite depictions of the Faerie Folk to tattoo on myself, as an homage to the works of Mr. Froud and Mr. Lee.
Thank-you both for taking my hand and showing me the way. I als! ! o have a copy of "Strange Stains and Mysterious Smells" and "The Dark Crystal" my favorite film. I look so forward to collecting more of your wonderous works!
If you do not already have a copy -- hardcover, of course -- get one ( or six ). Everyone who has the priveledge of viewing mine wants one of their own!
Book Review: Ye will delight in this book, old lad!
Summary: 5 Stars
When you imagine a fairy, the first thing that comes to mind is a pretty little girl with wings, maybe long hair, sitting on a flower, singing a song, or dancing....well, the world of fairies is MUCH more than that! There are ugly fairies and pretty ones, there are small fairies and big ones, some live underwater, some in trees. There are goblins, dwarfs, cluricauns, leprechauns, brownies, kelpies, pucks, witches, primroses....you see, its a whole different world filled with interesting little inhabitants that you may have never imagined! The illustrations are great, fun to stare at. Good folk tales and descriptions. I was skeptical about the world of Faeries but after reading (and looking) thru this book, I am forever drawn to them!Book Review: best book

Summary: 5 Stars
I first found this book in thge sci-fi section of my local bookstore, I had seen the cartoon short based on this book and I was interested in the what the book was like. I paged through it thinking it would be a well illustrated tolkien like story, like the animated version. Then after looking through about half a page I was hooked, I couldn't put it down, I stoped reading when the store was closed and the checkout clerk forced the book from my hands, two days later I was back with the price of the book in my wallet. This was the first book I had ever read that actually talked about the evil, dark faeries that your childhood storybooks never talk about, like redcaps, and the unseelie court. I have read this book cover-to-cover several times and I am still finding things in some of the illustrations I hadn't noticed before. If your interested by this book, get yourself a copy of the animated version.
