Arthur Spiderwick's
Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You: Movie Tie-in Edition (The Spiderwick
Chronicles) (Hardcover)
by Tony DiTerlizzi (Illustrator), Holly Black (Author)
Grade 3-6–This field guide purports to be a copy of Arthur
Spiderwicks sketches and investigations into the beings and beasties
of the Invisible World–the brownies, boggarts, kelpies, and
other creatures that populate the stories. The beautiful illustrations
in gouache and pencil, seemingly modeled after Audubons work in Birds
of America, are printed as if they were real century-old artworks
that have left their shadowy imprints on the opposite pages. The
descriptions are bits of Spiderwicks hard-learned lore, many apparently
in his own handwriting, that make the art all the richer. Fantasy
readers will love immersing themselves in the lore of the hidden–those
things that only they, and people who are like them, can see. Field
Guide will be pored over by anyone, of any age, who believes in sprites,
phookas, and nixies.–Walter Minkel, New York Public Library |

Good
Faeries Bad Faeries (Hardcover)
by Brian Froud (Author)
Why are large, illustrated works offhandedly relegated
to gather dust on the corner of your coffee table? Sure, you will
want to put Good-Faeries/Bad Faeries in an obvious place, somewhere
your friends will see it and pick it up, but it's far more than mere
decoration. Froud's illustrations have delighted readers since his
first book, Faeries, introduced us to the little people of folklore.
Good Faeries/Bad Faeries is a doorway to the faery realm of the 20th
century, where you'll meet delightful characters like Quempel, who
dances to celebrate when something is done well; or the Buttered
Toast Faery, who decides which side of a dropped piece of toast will
hit the floor--faeries who will call you back so often that Good
Faeries/Bad Faeries won't have a chance to gather dust. --Brian Patterson |
