Once upon a time I thought faeries lived only in books old folktales and the past. That was
before they burst upon my life as vibrant luminous beings permeating my art and my everyday
existence causing glorious havoc.... In the long-awaited sequel to the international
bestseller Faeries artist Brian Froud rescues pixies gnomes and other faeries from the
isolation of the nursery and the distance of history bringing them into the present day with
vitality and imagination. In this richly imagined new book Brian reveals the secrets he has
learned from the faeries -- what their noses and shoes look like what mischief and what gentle
assistance they can give what their souls and their dreams are like. As it turns out faeries
aren't all sweetness and light. In addition to such good faeries as Dream Weavers and Faery
Godmothers Brian introduces us to a host of less well behaved creatures -- traditional bad
faeries like Morgana le Fay but also the Soul Shrinker and the Gloominous Doom. The faery
kingdom we find is as subject to good and evil as the human realm. Brilliantly documenting
both the dark and the light Good Faeries Bad Faeries presents a world of enchantment and magic
that deeply compels the imagination.
