Splat Goes The Fairy

Bwhahaha Splat!  Sorry, I was just finishing up Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book.

This hilarious spin on the true story of the Cottingley Fairies in which two girls fooled the world into thinking they had actually photographed real fairies. It is written by Terry Jones (of Monty Python fame) and the well known fairy artist Brian Froud.  The book comes off as a discovery of Lady Angelica Cottington's journals, along with her book of pressed fairies.  She finds these little imps pesky and irritating so she slams them between the pages of her book leaving imprints of there smashed little bodies (don't worry the fairies think it is a game and are never hurt).  The story is quit funny with just a touch of Awwww.  The book is written in journal/scrapbook form with plenty of splatted (is that a word?) fairies all over it. This is a fun one for any fairy lovers out there. PS there is a tad bit illustrated fairy nudity so depending on your comfort level you might want to do a quick flip through before you hand it off to the kiddies.

Would you like to go splat fairies with me?  Do you think they make a competition of the best faces?  How much do you love silly books like this :-)
