"Faeries," a seminal work by renowned English artists Brian Froud and Alan Lee, published in 1978, is far more than a mere picture book. Presented as an illustrated compendium, it delves deep into the rich tapestry of faerie mythology, legends, and folklore, offering a comprehensive look at the history, customs, and habitats of these elusive creatures.

The book explores a vast range of mythological beings, from the delicate and whimsical to the grotesque and mischievous, including goblins, dwarves, pixies, elves, leprechauns, ogres, and more. Through a blend of stunning, meticulously detailed illustrations and engaging, often tongue-in-cheek prose, "Faeries" explores various aspects of the faerie world, such as their archaeology, characteristics, customs, and even a geography of "Faerieland." It offers in-universe advice on where faeries might be found, how to ward off their spells, and the ecological interactions between faeries and plants. While drawing from global folklore, the primary focus is on traditions from France, England, Scotland, and Ireland.

Breaking away from the overly sweet and sanitized depictions often found in children's literature, Froud and Lee's work presents a more traditional, and at times darker, portrayal of faeries, rooted in authentic folklore. The book is lauded for its unique artistic style, which blurs the lines between the two artists' contributions, creating a cohesive and immersive experience. "Faeries" became a bestseller and has significantly influenced contemporary fantasy art and literature, establishing itself as a modern classic for anyone interested in the enchanting and sometimes unsettling world of the fae.
