About this deal

Around the time of World War One, two well-to-do British girls, cousins, were larking about with their cameras and claimed to have "discovered" fairies.

You will find yourself chuckling out loud as you envision her running around her lovely old English garden in her Victorian lace dress and petticoat smashing little faeries in between her little note books. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all of them, but I might pick and choose some text and images for backgrounds on a homemade grimoire or something. INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL BOOKMARK/WINDOW STICKER AND THE BROWN PAPER BAND THAT CORDONED OFF THE EVER SO SLIGHTLY RISQUE ILLUSTRATIONS AT THE BACK (SLIGHT MISS FOLDS) PLEASE SEE PHOTOGRAPHS. The die cut fairy bookmark/window sticker and the sealed band that goes around the "erotic" pages of the book, reading "For the protection of the innocent", still in place.

The pictures are amazing and the overall book is hilarious but the actual story is weird and quite horrifying. They like to mess with Angelica and at some point things start to get out of hand in a sexual nature. Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy. Angelica doesn't go into detail, but enough to give you suspicions about what happens and it's not pleasant.

Brown paper band still in place to protect the (mildly pornographic) final section, with the glossy fairy bookmark also still in place.

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. There is some nudity (as fairies aren't that modest), but that part of the book made it even more intriguing for a pre-pubescent as I was at the time. The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings. Or rather the psychic images of the fairies, who quickly turned it into a game, where they leapt between the closing pages in an effort to outdo each other to produce the most outrageous poses.

Dust Jackets are not guaranteed and when still present, they will have various degrees of tear and damage. I would have taken the whole thing as a personal affront and refused to ever watch Monty Python again because Terry Jones would have been DEAD TO ME.All about fairies, these hilarious letters contain everything from wisdom to suggestions to chastisement. The entire book is full of "pressed fairies" that a young girl finds in her garden over a period in her life.

Designed to resemble a reproduction of the awful little girl’s actual journal, the book comes with dozens of wonderful drawings—courtesy of Brian Froud, the man behind the creature designs for the movies Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal—of fairies splattered across age-yellowed pages. 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. The journal entries are so darn believable that I was sure it was at least loosely based on some fairy sightings. padded boards, illustrated in lavish color throughout by Brian Froud and signed with a large drawing by him on the half-title.Through the handwritten journal of Lady Cottington we learn details of her life, beginning in early childhood to her later years.
