Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book by Brian Froud, Terry Jones (2005, Package)

Terry Jones of Monty Python fame, and artist Brian Froud have given us a rare glimpse into the life of the imaginary Lady Cottington. The fairies don't have a chance. They tiptoe on her book, bear thier bums and SMASH. they become art. What I love is that this book is basically and homage to a sick sense of humor and love of fairies. I love that Lady Cottington can't help herself, no matter how guilty she feels for slamming her book on them, when another fairy is rude or cheeky or slower than she is, she gets a tingle in her toes and her heart beats faster until she can't take it anymore, and she smooshes them flat without a second thought. "Its rather like making a pie, you have to cut the dangly bits of fairy of the edges of the book". The DVD included makes it even more fun, to see Terry dressed as Lady Cottington. Its so wrong, but so hilarious! Not for kids though, naked fairies and sexual refrences are only part of the fun though. Classic... The pictures are beautiful,and funny, and the diary like entries had me giggling to myself. Apparently Lady Cottington has had many marriage proposals, but mostly from her own family members or clergy.
