Rating:  Summary: A journal? Far too nice to write in! Review: Classed by many as an 'any year diary/jouranl' personally I find this book far too beautiful to actually write in.If you are a Froud fan this book is a must, but it is a companion piece so do not expect a whole new range of the fairy art. Based on the original 'Pressed Fairy Book' this book contains many of the same 'pressings' and quotes from the story. As well as witty comments for select days of the year.

Rating:  Summary: AWESOME..CREATIVE ...BEAUTIFUL...FUNNY Review: I bought a couple of the Original 1994 published books. I couldn't believe the artwork..definately Froud's best. I was in awe. Then to enjoy the humor of comedy genius Terry Jones was sheer pleasure. Just the thought of catching (SNAP!) faires in a book make me giggle. This book is a definate keeper..I'M GLAD I BOUGHT EXTRAS TO SELL & AUCTION! Everyone is tickled pink..right down to the smashed decal. ADULT HUMOR!!
Rating:  Summary: Must have Review: I love this book. The first day I got it, I couldn't put it down. It is very light reading, and is a great book to read. The art work is beautifully done, making it looks like they were actually squished. It also is great how you can see the main character kind of 'grow up'. This book is not for children in anyway, however, but it is a great gift for someone who has a sense of humor and loves fairys (ect).

Rating:  Summary: Great Gift Idea for the Fairy Collector Review: I purchased this book for my cousin who collects faires. She was delighted. Loved it! The drawings are beautiful and the content humorous. She actually uses it as a journal for herself. Great gift!
Rating:  Summary: This book makes a great gift Review: If you know of someone with an off-beat sense of humor, this is the perfect gift. Not for young children since the fairies are all squished... The story line is silly, but you can't help reading it. The art work is wonderful, and very funny.
Rating:  Summary: From the Birth of Moonhopper to Fairy Eve's Year News.... Review: If you're a fan of the Cottington fairy lore (the Pressed Fairy Book, Strange Stains and Mysterious Smells, and you might as well include the Goblin Companion since it too is made by the wonderful team of Froud and Jones), you'll never run out of holidays, or, as I call them, Excuses to Play Kazoo, Blow Bubbles, And Generally Make A Fool Of Myself. Some olidays are for elves or pixies or goblins only, but, if you consider the malleable nature of the celebrants as mentioned in other Froud books, this isn't really much of a hindrance. Consider this book as having four stars on it's own, but five when coupled with anything else by Terry Jones and Brian Froud.
Rating:  Summary: lady cottington's pressed fairy journal Review: it is a datebook, i thought it would be more like another book to the set, it is very pretty though.
Rating:  Summary: This book has a quirky sense of humor and great artwork. Review: Terry Jones places his unique stamp of humor on each page of Lady Cottingly's journal entries. Brian Froud's artwork of the pressed faeries is wonderful as usual. This is probably the only place you'll see a picture of a squished faerie that looks great!
Rating:  Summary: So Much Review: The fairies are so cute! And those expressions and poses are hilarious. If you press flowers or know someone who does, this book is for them. They will definately enjoy the fairies.
