The Pressed Fairy Journal of Madeline Cottington by Brian Froud, Wendy Froud #BookReview

    Renowned artist/author duo Brian and Wendy Froud present, for the first time, the backstory of Cottington Hall and its intriguing inhabitants: the Cottington family and the faeries living among them. The rise and fall of this eccentric British family gives us humorous, and sometimes tragic, glimpses into how the Cottingtons became inexorably entwined with the faeries during the late 19th and 20th centuries. When a descendant, Maddi, visits the Cottingtons’s dilapidated hall, she finds herself caught up in a story of intrigue and mystery. While reading the letters and journals of her ancestors and discovering a wealth of inventions aimed at allowing humans to visit the fairy realm unharmed, Maddi slowly becomes aware of the faeries and their world.

Also available from Brian and Wendy Froud: Brian Froud's Faeries' Tales and Brian Froud's Goblins: 10 1/2 Anniversary Edition.

We were so excited when this showed up in the mail!!! Were in love with all things Froud!  We have pretty much all of the books they have printed.  I dived into his one as soon as it came and read it right though. It wasnt like most of their books were you get a ton of info on they Fey but it was still good.  It was a very interesting read for the back story of of the Hall and those who lived there.  We really enjoyed the pictures and the extra stuff in the back.  This one comes with instructions on how to make a hat as well as a tattoo.  If your a fan of Froud then this is a book your going to want to grab!
