Brian Froud’s Fairies incorporates beautiful illustrations with Fairy folklore that can be found in any text book.
If you’ve studied folklore you’ll have heard these tales before, but the real treasure is the illustrations: fun, fantastical and even menacing; Froud paints a brilliant other world.
Children really love this book as well, but if you object to nudity of any kind, no matter how innocent, then steer clear.
For you fantasy lovers, try this book out. Many fantasy themes, characters and villians come from fairy folklore.
