In the late 1980s, Froud formed an artistic-literary partnership with Terry Jones, who was a screenwriter on Labyrinth. Together they produced The Goblins of Labyrinth (1986), a companion book containing Froud's concept art for the film, [32] [33] and subsequently a number of non- Labyrinth-related books about fairies and goblins.

The stories about the creatures were very simplistic, with no structure at all and didn't manage to capture my attention. The authors also use other authors' writings and quotes as literal sources.

And the "glossary" was very limited, and didn't give any real information. Instead, there's info about the creatures thrown all around but with no any explanation, as if we are expected to already know at least half of these.

Reviewers praised the authors' illustrations and depth of research, while some criticized the book's writing style for not clearly separating fact from fiction regarding the book's mythical subject matter.
