Another nifty coffee table book, flip it over and you go from good fairies to bad. I love the creepy artwork of Brian Froud.

My Irish husband loves his fairies. For many years, I would give him a fairy book as a birthday gift. While I prefer the beautiful gossamer winged types, he likes the strange and creepy ones. #coolbooks #fairy

Soubhiville I loooooove this book! I‘ve given and received it as a gift so many times! I‘ve considered getting a tattoo from it, but haven‘t done it yet. 6y
Linsy Oooh, I want one of these! 🖤🧡🖤 6y
tournevis Froud! Love! 😍😍😍😍😍 6y

I saw @lauraodom post about this the other day and it made me want to dig out my own copy and have a flick through. The illustrations are absolutely stunning and seen as I‘ve not looked at it for YEARS it‘s made me proper nostalgic so I may have a dig through all my old books! 😍 #faeries

lauraodom Yes! The illustrations are gorgeous! 7y
DefLeppard This is surely related to the "Labyrinth" movie? considering the Brian Froud name as he worked on the movie and his real life little boy Toby Froud was also Toby in the movie. 7y
Bronte_Chintz @lauraodom they are! 😍 @Tamora1979 I did not know this, would make total sense though as a lot of the characters are very similar to ones in his books! You learn something new everyday! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 7y

Weaponxgirl Yes he also designed all the creatures for the dark crystal and you can get the art books for both. He's wife Wendy froud makes puppets and her books are great too. She designed yoda! 7y
DefLeppard @Bronte_Chintz oh well I am glad I was useful for a silly little fact you didn't know. 😊 7y
DefLeppard @Weaponxgirl I love movie trivia and I also have Henson's Dark crystal on DVD and the book and a little figurine of one of the "Skeksi." (I am so sure I got the spelling of that wrong!) lol. 7y
Weaponxgirl @Tamora1979 those were my favourite movies as a kid and the figurine sounds wonderful. I've got a labyrinth boardgame and the soundtrack on vinyl. Movie trivia is the best I always remember the most absurd facts 7y
Bronte_Chintz @Weaponxgirl @Tamora1979 I love labyrinth and dark crystal, it‘s so weird that having his faerie books that I‘ve not put the two together! 😂 I love him even more now! Thanks girls! 7y
Weaponxgirl @Bronte_Chintz it happens to the best of us! 7y

Day 10: Wings
Once upon a time I was planning to write a story about a Changeling, so I did a lot of faerie research. I wrote a few chapters but the story got away from me and it still sits unfinished. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #Ampersand2018

Bronte_Chintz 😍😍 I love this book the illustrations are everything. 🙌🏻 7y

"A glamour, or glamer, is a spell, a juggling of sight that creates an alluring illusion.... A glamour can last an hour, a day, a year, or even a lifetime. In its grip, we live in a world unrelated to physical reality, unable to perceive what's true within ourselves and others."
