Goblins By Brian Froud

Aww here is an awesome book for the Brian Froud fans out there. If you are tired of all the pressed Faries and flower faeries, here is a Froud book with bit of a new twist.

Pre owned in good condition.

Goblins!: A Survival Guide and Fiasco in Four Parts. An illustrated guide and cautionary tale.

Anyone who brings home this book will be in big trouble. Renowned artist Brian Froud and scholar Ari Berk have conducted a thorough investigation into the goblin realm. (For the uninformed, goblins, a subspecies of faery, are those maleficent creatures that cause all manner of havoc in the human realm.)

It is for the goblins also a sort of yearbook and scrapbook containing clippings from mankind’s writing about them. More important, it is the book in which the various goblin Guilds and Houses have always recorded their ongoing feuds and contests in and about the human world.

Goblins is a brilliant representation of Berk and Froud’s contact with the goblin world — and it was very close contact, as Froud even locked a goblin scribe in his downstairs bathroom (Help! I trapped in downstairs water closet. Mr. Froud very bad man … Come to Froud ground floor poop-cupboard and unlock door. Will give you many socks and a small dog with cheese on him. — Gargle)! Gargle also assisted by writing comments in the margins of the book … very useful.
