Following in the footsteps of his popular Trolls and faeries books, Brian and We
ndy Froud lead readers deeply into the world of Faeries. Humans throughout histo
ry have always had special relationships and bonds with faeries, whether loving
and helpful or at times destructive. This new book explores that complex relatio
nship and the liminal state between the human and faery world where meeting and
interaction occur.
In Brian Froud's Faeries' Tales, readers encounter individ
ual faeries, each with a story to uncover, as told by the faeries themselves. Ma
ny of the stories are familiar to humans, but the "true" story is told by the fa
eries. Similar to the Trolls fragments, the faeries' tales are coupled with port
raits and interspersed with drawings and studies of the mysterious and enchantin
g folk who flit back and forth between the human world and theirs.
