There was no indication whatsoever that this was anything other than a light picture book, after all, so it was jarring and not exactly funny. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. This, however, is a translation of the first book, with text by Terry Jones and artwork by Brian Froud. Angelica doesn't go into detail, but enough to give you suspicions about what happens and it's not pleasant.
padded boards, illustrated in lavish color throughout by Brian Froud and signed with a large drawing by him on the half-title. The story itself - the diary of the girl who captured the fairies - is often amusing and charming, but at times quite terrible. The video disk that comes with the book is also funny that shows Terry Jones narrating dressed in drag as a woman talking about these dreadful little creatures that she tries to catch. Well, this was a difficult book to rate, mainly because somewhere there should have been some mention that this wasn't merely a cute picture book. 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.um, more weighty matter slipped into an otherwise light, childish-looking book, I was completely unprepared for it and mistakenly took it for awful writing. She probably never imagined naked faeries, let alone the sad fact that a little girl would squash them in a book ~SPLAT! so in short, mentioning the oppression--which, of course, no one would admit was real) made me appreciate the book more. 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. In Lady Cottington's Fairy Album, Brian Froud managed to add some real depth and poignancy to the story.
The story is typical Monty Python -- lots of sexual innuendo, double-entendre, and some not-so-subtle crudity. Admittedly the story itself made me a little uncomfortable while I was reading it but not in the sense where I was entertained. when the book suddenly turned from funny-fairy-squishing to rape and more rape, well, it was a bit difficult to enjoy. Angelica is obviously thought of as backward by her family and friends, but this only serves her up with a decidedly warped draw.These suggestive segments are rather graphic, yet the purposeful omission allows us to draw our own conclusions. When she's younger the writing style reflects that and I didn't realise how twisted her action of squashing the fairies was quite till the end. This is a reproduction of the diary of Lady Angelica Cottingham, which features pressed garden fairies.
Lady Cottington’s journal is a coming of age story equipped with squished and squashed faires, pixes, and goblins! 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. Ethnology - Superstition, including witchcraft and magic"), as if Angelica was real and this was an actual non-fiction book on fairies. The entire book is full of "pressed fairies" that a young girl finds in her garden over a period in her life.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. The Lady Cottington book series by multiple authors includes books Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book, Lady Cottington's Fairy Album, and Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Letters. Through the handwritten journal of Lady Cottington we learn details of her life, beginning in early childhood to her later years.

Dark humor by Jones (of Monty Python fame) The publisher (at the request of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Fairies) notes that no fairies were injured or killed in the manufacturing process. The fairies are amazingly drawn, the splatter effect on the opposing page really give the impression fairies have been squashed between the pages. What's also amusing is that the library has catalogued this under author Angelica Cottington and SISO classification code 908.
