Terry Jones’s Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy Book is a wickedly funny fantasy picture book that masquerades as the recovered journal of a mischievous Victorian girl who “presses” fairies like flowers. This lavish 1994 first-edition hardcover overflows with Brian Froud’s intricate illustrations, making it a treasure for collectors of folklore-inspired art and Monty Python fans alike.
The pages are crisp, unmarked, and tightly bound, free of smoke or shelf odors—close to like-new despite nearly three decades. The embossed boards and vivid fairy plates remain bright, ready for immediate display or gentle reading.
Ideal for young-adult readers, fantasy art lovers, or anyone hunting a quirky bedtime story, this copy promises the full enchantment without the wear.
