The Faerie's Oracleby Brian Froud, Jessica MacbethISBN 0743201116 (0-7432-0111-6)
Softcover, Simon & Schuster
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Faerie's Oracle'Book summary:In The Faerie's Oracle author and illustrator Brian Froud offers believers a chance to consult with the magical wee folks. Using a deck of 66 "oracle cards" believers conduct readings as if interpreting Tarot cards. Each of the cards feature Froud's signature faery pictures. Some of the cards have specific faeries, such as the naked leaping "Spirit Lancer"--a feminine card that represents "self-expression, freedom and exploration", according to the accompanying text written by Jessica Macbeth. Others are more abstract, such as the "Guardian of the Gate" a blue tinted card with splaying silver-white streaks that look like tendrils of faery hair.
This fascinating deck will keep Froud fans delighted for hours. Once seekers are ready to actually start communicating with faeries they will also be delighted with Macbeth's whimsical, yet highly informative guidebook. She is quick to sympathise with the self-consciousness that comes with talking to faeries, yet she also has the ability to jolly people out of their embarrassment. Macbeth is at her wisest when discussing how to ask for guidance and interpret specific layouts of oracle cards. But if you find yourself succumbing to giggles in the midst of all this faery woo-woo, take heart. Writes Macbeth, "Giggles are the grace notes of faery music." --Gail Hudson, Amazon.com [via]

Hardcover, Harry N Abrams Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Goblins of Labyrinth'Book summary:A huge heavy book, full of conceptual designs of about 100 different goblins (some from the movie, the others in hiding in the Labyrinth) by Brian Froud, all faithful reproductions of his ink on parchment original drawings, with Monty style narrative curtesy of Terry Jones. There's also a generous amount of full colour prints of the Wiseman, Sir Didymus, Toby and a brown-haired girl who was the predecessor of our Sarah. Shame about there being no pics of Jareth, as he himself was originally conceptualised as a muppet (cue thoughts of Sarah dancing with a Big Bird equivalent). If you love Brian Froud's Fantasy art and love Labyrinth, you will need to have this book. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Good Faeries, Bad Faeries: 2 Books in 1'Book summary:Why are large, illustrated works offhandedly relegated to gather dust on the corner of your coffee table? Sure, you will want to put Good-Faeries/Bad Faeries in an obvious place, somewhere your friends will see it and pick it up, but it's far more than mere decoration. Froud's illustrations have delighted readers since his first book, Faeries, introduced us to the little people of folklore. Good Faeries/Bad Faeries is a doorway to the faery realm of the 20th century, where you'll meet delightful characters like Quempel, who dances to celebrate when something is done well; or the Buttered Toast Faery, who decides which side of a dropped piece of toast will hit the floor--faeries who will call you back so often that Good Faeries/Bad Faeries won't have a chance to gather dust. --Brian Patterson [via]

Lady Cottington's Fairy Albumby Brian FroudISBN 0810932946 (0-8109-3294-6)
Hardcover, Abrams , Incorporated, Harry N.
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Lady Cottington's Fairy Album'Book summary:At last, Lady Angelica Cottington returns, in this mysterious and hilarious sequel to Brian Froud's huge international hit Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book.
In this quirky and seductive new volume, 15-year-old Angelica stumbles on an annotated photo album belonging to her long-dead sister, Euphemia. The revelations within tell of fairy enchantments, wanton romance, and bawdy trysts -- and they cast young Lady C's ancestry into shocking doubt. Angelica responds to the album in true character, and her fits of fairy pressings and squashings instigate terrible (if weirdly entertaining) consequences.
Along with its mysterious tale of Cottington family deviance, this extraordinary artifact offers near-indisputable evidence of the existence of fairies in the form of letters and never-before-published Victorian photographs of actual fairies, authenticated by Brian Froud, the Cottington Archive, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Fairies. Fairies defiant, fairies au naturel, and, of course, fairies squashed: they're all here. Without doubt, Lady Cottington's Fairy Album will radically alter the study of the fairies' hereto-fore-secret world. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book'Book summary:This perennial bestseller never loses its charm. It really happened-a hoax perpetrated by two girls who claimed to have photographed actual "fairies"; among the people caught up in the popular hysteria were Arthur Conan Doyle (who fell for it) and Harry Houdini (who did not). This remarkable parody, written by a former member of the Monty Python troupe, takes a riotously witty, visually extraordinary, and wildly original look at what went on. In every respect, this "handwritten diary" captures the look of the age-though the fairies, it is true, do sometimes have a more malevolent aspect than one might expect...[via]
