Great for Fantasy Lovers
The first time Id seen this book was at school, a friend of mine had borrowed it and I was able to leaf through it. Even just at leafing, the illustrations amazed me. I believe it was the original print from around the 70's or so.
I recognized one of the artists names (Brian Froud) from the work he did for the movie "The Dark Crystal". Then I knew I had to have this book (as an avid fan of artbooks in the first place).
The illustrations are very nicely reproduced, and the notes and things and backgrounds of the creatures represented makes it feel like your reading a bestiary. I dont know very much about faeries and stuff and its the illustrations that drew me into this book to begin with, but now that I read through some of it Id like to do some more research into faeries and other fantasy folk.
If your a lover of fantasy, beautiful illustration, or are a fan of either Brian Froud Alan Lee or both, this book is a definate must have :)
