If you just care for the interesting artwork, though, the book is lovely; if you're going to read the text also, be aware this isn't a children's book. The Lady Cottington book series by multiple authors includes books Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book, Lady Cottington's Fairy Album, and Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Letters. All used books might have various degrees of writing, highliting and wear and tear and possibly be an ex-library with the usual stickers and stamps. Angelica doesn't go into detail, but enough to give you suspicions about what happens and it's not pleasant. This, however, is a translation of the first book, with text by Terry Jones and artwork by Brian Froud.
Well, this was a difficult book to rate, mainly because somewhere there should have been some mention that this wasn't merely a cute picture book. Ethnology - Superstition, including witchcraft and magic"), as if Angelica was real and this was an actual non-fiction book on fairies. The video disk that comes with the book is also funny that shows Terry Jones narrating dressed in drag as a woman talking about these dreadful little creatures that she tries to catch.I picked it up thinking it would simply be a series of smashed fairy pictures with cute, light descriptions by the girl who did the squishing. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. When she's younger the writing style reflects that and I didn't realise how twisted her action of squashing the fairies was quite till the end. The journal entries are so darn believable that I was sure it was at least loosely based on some fairy sightings.
The pictures are amazing and the overall book is hilarious but the actual story is weird and quite horrifying. Personalised advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under California and other state privacy laws, and you may have a right to opt out. She probably never imagined naked faeries, let alone the sad fact that a little girl would squash them in a book ~SPLAT! I would have taken the whole thing as a personal affront and refused to ever watch Monty Python again because Terry Jones would have been DEAD TO ME. I wish this book was a bit longer but I seen there is a second book and I definitely want to check it out.Designed to resemble a reproduction of the awful little girl’s actual journal, the book comes with dozens of wonderful drawings—courtesy of Brian Froud, the man behind the creature designs for the movies Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal—of fairies splattered across age-yellowed pages. Whether we are to assume that Angelica is molested or abused by any of the men is unclear, but her flight from England to Italy due to one particularly painful encounter is hint enough. These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy. All about fairies, these hilarious letters contain everything from wisdom to suggestions to chastisement.
