Faeries of the Faultlines: Expanded, Edited Edition

Product Information

Led by our intrepid guide, artist Iris Compiet, we are taken on a tour of this fascinating fey realm, a hidden part of the world just out of the human eye but kept alive by those who continue to believe. There is no doubt about it, Iris Compiet has ‘the sight’ and documents her observations with a talent comparable to that of Brian Froud and Alan Lee but with a touch all her own.

Faeries of the Faultlines by Iris Compiet | Goodreads

They just trickled out of my pencil onto the paper—very slowly at first but once I got started again it felt like all these beings had just been waiting to come out. Here's a faerie, and it releases a smell, has a look, says a thing that will make a human drowsy/itchy/dead, and so on. All of which would have given it a 5 star rating, however, a few key things for me that stood out and somewhat marred the book for me. This is such a beautiful book, and the descriptions of the fairies are whimsical and grounded (if that makes sense; it really feels like Compiet is documenting real beings). The Faultlines is an ancient name given to those places where the veil between this world and the Other is thinnest.I grew up in the province of Zeeland in the Netherlands, Zeeuws-Vlaanderen to be exact, and I was always playing outside. There doesn't seem to be infant faeries, so it's unknown how any of these faeries propagate their species, especially the hobgoblin and brownie (pronounced brawnie) have no females, even though gender is not a thing. Brian Froud'Iris summons and draws upon the forces that are necessary in giving life to such creaturesimagination, an intelligent curiosity, and a relentless energy.
