Personally, I love Terry Jones's strange yet very creative story and Brian Froud's magical artwork in this book. The video disk that comes with the book is also funny that shows Terry Jones narrating dressed in drag as a woman talking about these dreadful little creatures that she tries to catch. Brown paper band still in place to protect the (mildly pornographic) final section, with the glossy fairy bookmark also still in place.

If you don't know who he is, he worked on some creatures for Jim Henson's Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. C. Doyle was a devout Theosophist and wanted very badly to believe in such spiritual manifestations). What's also amusing is that the library has catalogued this under author Angelica Cottington and SISO classification code 908.
St Ann's Hospice aims to improve the quality of life for people living with life-limiting illnesses in Greater Manchester, whilst supporting their families and carers. The story itself - the diary of the girl who captured the fairies - is often amusing and charming, but at times quite terrible. Lady Cottington’s journal is a coming of age story equipped with squished and squashed faires, pixes, and goblins!
Removable sleeve on "naughty" pages printed: "sealed by Lady Cottington for the protection of the innocent". While to the 21st-Century eye these fairies look like the obvious hoax they were, at the time they were enough to convince Sir Arthur Conan Doyle of their authenticity (partly due to the fact, we suspect, that A. Dust Jackets are not guaranteed and when still present, they will have various degrees of tear and damage. These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy.I picked it up thinking it would simply be a series of smashed fairy pictures with cute, light descriptions by the girl who did the squishing. These suggestive segments are rather graphic, yet the purposeful omission allows us to draw our own conclusions.
The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings. There was no indication whatsoever that this was anything other than a light picture book, after all, so it was jarring and not exactly funny. Terry Jones of Monty Python renown is on writing duty, and he gleefully presents the Lady’s entries as a series of increasingly disturbing snapshots of the life she leads smooshing fairies, goblins, sprites, pixies, any pint-sized magical creature she can snap her book shut on like a trap. However, I liked it better when I reflected on it a bit more and saw that it was referring more to societal roles, places, etc.I can only assume that a great many people won't pick up on it at all, though, so probably it won't have any effect for them. The journal entries are so darn believable that I was sure it was at least loosely based on some fairy sightings. Fine in padded pictorial boards designed to simulate the look of a scuffed leather diary or notebook. Ethnology - Superstition, including witchcraft and magic"), as if Angelica was real and this was an actual non-fiction book on fairies. I wish this book was a bit longer but I seen there is a second book and I definitely want to check it out.
Whether we are to assume that Angelica is molested or abused by any of the men is unclear, but her flight from England to Italy due to one particularly painful encounter is hint enough.Fast-forward to 1994, when Monty Python member Terry Jones released this book, "proving" that the fairies did exist -- and that they had been pressed (squashed, really) like faded roses in the pages of a book kept by one "Lady Cottington. These are more than I would ever probably be able to read through, but it's a nice feeling knowing that I have them for reference. Angelica doesn't go into detail, but enough to give you suspicions about what happens and it's not pleasant.
Great Deal
