Purchase options and add-ons

Following in the footsteps of Trolls, Brian and Wendy Froud lead readers deep into the world of faeries.

Humans throughout history have always had special relationships and bonds with faeries, whether loving and helpful or at times destructive. This book explores that complex relationship and the liminal state between the human and faery world where interaction occurs.

In Brian Froud’s Faeries’ Tales, readers encounter individual faeries, each with a story to uncover, as told by the faeries themselves. Many of the stories are familiar to humans, but the “true” story is told by the faeries. Similar to the Trolls fragments, the faeries’ tales are coupled with portraits and interspersed with drawings and studies of the mysterious and enchanting folk who travel back and forth between the human world and theirs.

“Nobody does fantasy art like the guy who gave us The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.” —io9

“This elegant presentation of well-known and more obscure fairy tales from the point of view of the fairies combines the mysterious and magical with cold calculation and complexity: successful ingredients for sophisticated readers.” —School Library Journal

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 9 Up—This elegant presentation of well-known and more obscure fairy tales from the point of view of the fairies combines the mysterious and magical with cold calculation and complexity: successful ingredients for sophisticated readers. The authors whimsically present the perspectives of the different fairies, thus revealing their thoughts and motivations. Breaking up the first-person accounts is a story about the little Duster fairies, which gives structure and ongoing focus. This treatment puts all the stories in a different light and makes fresh and new even the most well-known tales, such as "Tam Lin," "Cinderella," and "Sleeping Beauty," as well as the lesser known fairies, such as Moon Dancer, the King's Knight, Alyssa the Changeling-Maker, and the Shadow Man. The art is rich with deep colors, intricate borders, fanciful sketches, and searching portraits, creating a background for the humorous, romantic, sad, or dangerous tales. The last section includes documentation, which will be a solid resource for readers who want the authors' source materials and suggestions. VERDICT The Frouds' quality work is so well known and popular that this title will be a welcome addition to the genre.—Nancy Call, Santa Cruz Public Libraries, Aptos, CA

I loveee this book. First of all its massive, with full page illustrations that speak to my soul. It is different from their other books. I have faeries and good and bad faeries and as a huge fan of those I LOVE the different tone and style as well as story telling in this one. Yes many illustrations are more human esque but it's fitting and there's still plenty of other wordliness. I love the mixed mediums with the art too. Highly recommend.

I got my niece the Lady Cottington books but this one and Fairies and Good Fairies/Bad Fairies, I kept for myself. Feeding the inner child maybe. I really love them.
