Good Faeries, Bad Faeries by Brian Froud (1998, Hardcover, Illustrated)

I love this book cover to cover! Beautiful vibrant images and descriptions that will bring a smile to your face, maybe even make you giggle. Brian Froud has done it again with this book...For faerie and art lovers alike, this book will satisfy the young and old. It gives you an inside look to the faerie realm, through Brian Froud's eyes. Not just for your entertainment but informative as well. I recommend this book to everyone, with the exception of the very young. Brian Froud is one of the greatest artist I know of. As a fellow artist, I as well as froud appreciate the mortal and immortal form. So with some nudity in the art some parents may want to view the book before deciding to give it to young children. It is not lude or disgusting by any means. It is very tastefully done in a way that most can appreciate. Please do take the time to pick up this book!

The book is awesome. The pictures are exellent and exactly what you would think a faery would look like. The information is actually why I purchased the book. I am sculpting faeries and wanted to know some characteristics of the different faeies there are. I would highly recommend this book. You won't be disappointed.Brian Froud even has some of his faery drawings in the book.

I have been an admirer of Brian Froud's work for years. I belong to the World of Froud Website. I've been collecting his work for years. I am in the process of replacing some of it because I believe my ex-husband kept some of it. Strangly enough, when we separated, he had no interest in it. Then he "became sweet" on a girl he met on the internet. She was into Brian Froud things, so he bought the Faerie's Oracle, and a few other of his books. That's alright; I'm just glad he was finally able to appreciate Mr. Froud's work.


The pictures in the book are amazingly beautiful, as I expected. I am happy to have more information about faeries. I know that many people believe in angels; so Mr. Froud's explanation about angels being "grown-up faeries" made sense to me. There is another writer that says the same thing. There must be some some truth to this. I am also a collector of Brian Froud's art prints. The first one I bought was "The Faerie of Dark Despair". I have since been able to afford 2 more. (I try to live on disability---I have a bad back with other complications). My eldest son is an artist, and he offered to take "The Faerie of Dark Despair" and matte and frame it for me. Somehow it was misplaced between my two sons, and I hope to find it one day. It was my favorite.

I also have the Faerielands book series. It is a shame that Bantam didn't complete the work with all four books with the Froud illustrations on the sleeve and inside of the last two books by Midori Snider and Terri Windling. I bought them anyway, they were excellent of course; they are talented writers and were inspired by Brian Frouds's work.

There are many Faery artists emerging, and although they are quite talented, no one has yet to compare with Brian Froud's talent. His use of light and color
and many images within each painting draw the viewer's eye into the World of Faery.

I would recommend Good Faeries, Bad Faeries to anyone who loves quality art.
I would love to attend FaeryCon one day, but I live in the Southeast. So I will have to make do with our own Faires that we have within driving destination. I wish that I could afford an airplane ticket. But for now, I am thankful for what I have.

Mr.Froud, I wish you a long and happy life with your lovely wife Wendy, and your son, Toby.

You have brought much joy into my life with your art. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Erin M. Ivins

I bought the book because i wanted further information of faeries and I already have Faeries by Brian Froud. I enjoy the way this writer tells us all about the land of the fae. Now I get to learn of the good and the bad. Love how this is truly 2 books in one the way it is seperated is after you finish one book you have to turn it over to read the other...fasinating.. also there is no way I could explain how wonderful Brian Froud illistrates the fae's any one that likes faeries or would love to know more would love this book. I highly recommend this book. Mine holds a proud place in my bookcase. I will have to say I will be reading it over and over that is how wonderful it truly is.

very good condition and fast delivery.i was very satisfied and the book was like brand new i couldnt tell it was used.i really wanted this book and the fact that i could get it in such a good price and condition it was a great chance.thank u very much.i recoment this seller highly

I love this book and its predecessor Faeries by the same author. The pictures are terrific, and most of the pictures are available with lithographs for your wall too. This book is really cool, when you get to the end of the good faeries, you can flip the book upside down to view the bad faeries side. I think it is a perfect5 addition to any fantasy library.

i bought it as a gift. my friend love the authors point of veiw about the faeries. the book arrived in great shape, it got here in good time, the seller was great to work with over alll this was a great buying experience.

Very nice condition, no real damage that I could see. I purchased this book for the illustrations as a resource for art students. This artist is awesome, in fact, one of my students gave me his name and I wanted to find a used book so I could afford to buy it (and other books) myself for the students to use for ideas in their artwork.
