"I bought this book for my wife some years ago. She was an artist and very talented. Nrae the end of her life one of the subjects she was beginning to work with was "fantasy subjects" including faries. She was (as I said above) very talented and throughout her life as she would pick up different techniques and concentrate on different subjects. She did landscapes, seascapes, english gardens, still lifes (and did them in different styles so to speak...modern to primative). She d=went through a very long period of time doing floruals. She took commisions from people to paint everything from their houses to their pets. As i said only a few years ago she was becoming interested in more fantastic subjects. She enjoyed books of art work and as she would find new interests I'd use that as a key or indicator for her next Christmas or birthday gift. This book I bought her not too long ago and it reminds me of her. She past August 1, 2009.
There may be books of better paintings but this one and a few others will as long as I'm able to manage it stay on my shelf."
"I never knew there were so many different names for faeries. This book is comprised of legends and folklore. The illustrations reminded me of something but I couldn't put my finger on it till I read some of the other reviews of this book. They mentioned that Brian Froud worked on The Dark Crystal, and that is when I knew why they looked so familiar.
Fairies can turn on you at any moment, and they like to play jokes on human folks. So beware."
"yes. a mockhistorical account and illustrations of the Fae World. Bought it for my christian, artist, D and D, 15 yr ol midwestern neice. loved it. seriously."
