Fantasy Children’s Books Art, Design & Photography
A Field Guide to Goblins The Goblin Companion pairs Monty Python writer Terry Jones with visionary artist Brian Froud for a hardcover fantasy picture book that feels like stepping into Labyrinth’s goblin city. Every spread overflows with Froud’s mischievous sketches and watercolor goblins, while Jones supplies tongue-in-cheek notes on their habits, diets, and hiding places.
The result is a whimsical crossover bedtime story, art book, and collector’s piece that delights kids, fairy-tale fans, and fantasy art lovers alike. This 1996 first edition arrives gently used: crisp, unmarked pages, no writing or dog-ears, only light softening at the jacket corners.
The 128-page illustrated volume is ready for gift-giving or shelf display, its sturdy boards and bright plates still inviting readers to hunt for goblins in the margins. A charming, affordable way to own a piece of Brian Froud and Terry Jones magic without the collector premium.
