About this product
Product Information
"Once upon a time, I thought faeries lived only in books, old folktales, and the past. That was before they burst upon my life as vibrant, luminous beings, permeating my art and my everyday existence, causing glorious havoc...." In the long-awaited sequel to the international bestseller Faeries, artist Brian Froud rescues pixies, gnomes, and other faeries from the isolation of the nursery and the distance of history, bringing them into the present day with vitality and imagination. In this richly imagined new book, Brian reveals the secrets he has learned from the faeries -- what their noses and shoes look like, what mischief and what gentle assistance they can give, what their souls and their dreams are like. As it turns out, faeries aren't all sweetness and light. In addition to such good faeries as Dream Weavers and Faery Godmothers, Brian introduces us to a host of less well behaved creatures -- traditional bad faeries like Morgana le Fay, but also the Soul Shrinker and the Gloominous Doom. The faery kingdom, we find, is as subject to good and evil as the human realm. Brilliantly documenting both the dark and the light, Good Faeries/Bad Faeries presents a world of enchantment and magic that deeply compels the imagination.Product Identifiers

Really good quality for a used book.
The book was bought for my wife who has loved fairies since being a little girl, she is very pleased with the quality of the book, though she thinks some of the fairies are a little scary, she hasn't read the book yet, but has looked at the pictures.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Classic book on Faeries.
Brian Frouds' "Good Faeries Bad Faeries" was originally published in 1998. It is made in a flip flop style with the Good Faerie stories on one side, flip it over and read the book about Bad Faeries. It has nudity, as faeries don't wear clothes (of course). I don't feel it is rendered as well as his "Faeries" book that was published in 1978. There are more drawings than paintings, and the bad faeries are kinda scary for small children, but it is still fun. I bought it used for reference for fantasy drawings.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
