Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy Book, the gloriously twisted 1994 picture-book classic imagined by Terry Jones, lets readers peek inside a Victorian girl’s journal of “scientifically” captured fairies. Each page marries Jones’s witty narrative with full-color fairy illustrations that appear pressed between the boards, creating a faux-naturalist scrapbook that feels half-museum, half-mischief.

This hardcover edition arrives in very good vintage condition, its binding tight and pages clean and free of marks or dog ears. Two barely-there page scuffs are the only trace of its journey from a smoke-free shelf, making it ready for gifting or display.

Fantasy lovers, folklore collectors, and fans of Monty Python humor alike hunt this illustrated rarity. Keywords like “pressed fairy book,” “Terry Jones fantasy,” and “fairy picture book” keep it perennially sought-after on used-book sites.
