Lady Cottington's Fairy Album

Lady Cottington's Fairy Album by Froud, Brian. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780810932944.

The notorious Victorian fairy squasher is back-and this time, shes not alone! At last, Lady Angelica Cottington returns, in this mysterious and hilarious sequel to Brian Frouds huge international hit Lady Cottingtons Pressed Fairy Book. In this quirky and seductive new volume, 15-year-old Angelica stumbles on an annotated photo album belonging to her long-dead sister, Euphemia. The revelations within tell of fairy enchantments, wanton romance, and bawdy trysts-and they cast young Lady Cs ancestry into shocking doubt. Angelica responds to the album in true character, and her fits of fairy pressings and squashings instigate terrible (if weirdly entertaining) consequences. Along with its mysterious tale of Cottington family deviance, this extraordinary artifact offers near-indisputable evidence of the existence of fairies in the form of letters and never-before-published Victorian photographs of actual fairies, authenticated by Brian Froud, the Cottington Archive, and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Fairies. Fairies defiant, fairies au naturel, and, of course, fairies squashed: theyre all here. Without doubt, Lady Cottingtons Fairy Album will radically alter the study of the fairies heretofore-secret world.
