Famed for his best-seller Faeries and the Pressed Fairy calendars, artist Brian Froud rescues pixies, gnomes and other faeries from the nursery, rendering them with vitality and imagination in 200 full-color and 15 black & white illustrations. But Froud's faeries aren't all sweetness and light. Open the book from one side for graceful images of good faeries; open it from the other side for grotesque images of bad ones.
