She probably never imagined naked faeries, let alone the sad fact that a little girl would squash them in a book ~SPLAT!
The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings. Angelica is obviously thought of as backward by her family and friends, but this only serves her up with a decidedly warped draw. Lady Cottington’s journal is a coming of age story equipped with squished and squashed faires, pixes, and goblins! They like to mess with Angelica and at some point things start to get out of hand in a sexual nature.I bought the whole series for the artwork but I never would have done so if I realized it went in this direction. Through the handwritten journal of Lady Cottington we learn details of her life, beginning in early childhood to her later years. 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. If you just care for the interesting artwork, though, the book is lovely; if you're going to read the text also, be aware this isn't a children's book. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.
All about fairies, these hilarious letters contain everything from wisdom to suggestions to chastisement. Because of how the book was presented, how the beginning played out, starting with Angelica's childhood obsession of capturing fairies between the pages of a book, the underlying social commentary was just not readily accessible, and to me sort of difficult to actually pick up on.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 story is typical Monty Python -- lots of sexual innuendo, double-entendre, and some not-so-subtle crudity. PRINTING STATED 10 3/4 aniversay edition with bonus DVD hardcover padded book LIKE NEW, no dust jacket issued, SIGNED by BRIAN FROUD and also SIGNED by co-author ARI BERK PhD. Used books have different signs of use and might not include supplemental materials such as CDs, Dvds, Access Codes, charts or any other extra material. padded boards, illustrated in lavish color throughout by Brian Froud and signed with a large drawing by him on the half-title. 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.Brown paper band still in place to protect the (mildly pornographic) final section, with the glossy fairy bookmark also still in place. This is a reproduction of the diary of Lady Angelica Cottingham, which features pressed garden fairies.
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. The entire book is full of "pressed fairies" that a young girl finds in her garden over a period in her life. Based on the series of turn-of-the-century photos of the supposed “Cottingley Fairies”, Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy Book is definitely not a children’s book, but rather a morbid fantasy told through journal entries about a horrid imp of a girl who makes a hobby of crushing fairies in between the pages of her dairy. A friend got it for me as a birthday gift not long after I read it, thinking that it would be perfect for faerie loving me, and I gave that grin that says to most people "Oh, I LOVE IT!

Ethnology - Superstition, including witchcraft and magic"), as if Angelica was real and this was an actual non-fiction book on fairies. 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. 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.
