Customer Reviews

WOW!!!
what an absolutely delightful book! absolutely astounding, and extremely funny, this book comprises a collection of interesting and sometimes not particularly flattering letters passed between Lady cottington and some of her confederates, most of which are stuck down by various squashed fairies in all sorts of interesting poses... this is easily one of the best books on my bookshelf, and i am now currently tracking down all the rest of frouds books! Mr Froud and Mr Berk, if you ever read this, PLEASE WRITE LOADS MORE IN THIS SERIES!!!

Great book
I was sooo impressed with this had to buy one for myself when my daughter went away to uni and took hers with her. . . :-)

more pressed faiires
Loved it! Already bought the pressed fairy book, this one is just as good. If you're into fairies and slightly "skewed" humour, youll love it too.
