Product Description
Product Description
While searching for shelter from a rainstorm, a little faery named Sneezle is pursued by a band of strange creatures with wooden swords. They're not faeries, they're not goblins...in fact, he doesn't know "what" they are. With their long sticklike limbs, gnarled faces, and mouths full of knife-sharp teeth, they aren't like anything the denizens of Old Oak Wood have ever seen. Sneezle barely escapes, but "another" band of the ugly little creatures chases him out of the safety of the woods. Fleeing for his life, the little faery is forced to find refuge in a place that is almost as frightening as the stick men themselves -- in an old stone cottage at the edge of the forest. It is here that Sneezle must confront his greatest adventure and biggest fear.
In "The Faeries of Spring Cottage, " fans of young Sneezle will be delighted to see that their reluctant hero is journeying out of Old Oak Wood (even if it is against his will) and encountering humans for the first time, as well as other enchanting, mysterious -- and sometimes scary -- new beings. This dazzling collaboration between renowned doll maker Wendy Froud and award-winning writer Terri Windling introduces a host of magical new characters, including a strange faery court beneath a kitchen sink, rat-faery warriors, and faery dolls that magically come to life. Art-directed by Brian Froud, creator of "Good Faeries/Bad Faeries, " this latest volume in the Sneezle series captures the diminutive hero on his latest adventure in vivid detail.
Following the success of Wendy Froud and Terri Windling's first two Sneezle stories, "A Midsummer Night's Faery Tale" and "The Winter Child, " this new volume opens the magical window of enchantment once more with an extraordinary combination of story and art. "The Faeries of Spring Cottage" is destined to charm and captivate lovers of fairy tales, fantasy literature, and all things Froudian.

Best one yet in the series,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Faeries of Spring Cottage (Hardcover)
Here is the third (and in my opinion)and the best adventure yet in the Sneezle series written by Terri Windling and with beautiful artwork by the doll maker Wendy Froud. In this new adventure, Sneezlewort Rowanberry Rootmuster Boggs the Seventh, who is a tree root faery, is on his way to tell the King Oberon news about these violent twig type looking creatures that have been attacking the creatures that live in the forest. But by accident, Sneezle is taken to a humans house instead! Sneezle is very frightened, he has never seen a human, much less been in their house. Sneezle needs to get out of this humans cottage but how? I will leave the rest for you to find out when you buy this book and read it but I will tell you that you are in for many nice and beautiful surprises because this book truly is a work of art and I would recomend you buy it.

Wendy Froud and Terri Windling are masters of the Whimsical...,
By V. A. Trapani "vintrap" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Faeries of Spring Cottage (Hardcover)
You feel as though youre peaking into a magical world...cohorting with magical beings and caught in a realm that was lost to your childhood....
I have all the books by these two talented artists/writers... They have a special place in my collection....they inspire, infuse imagination and you just cant put them down...takes hours to look at the images which jump right off the pages! 5 stars is just too little a review for these books...Winter Child and A MidSummers Night Fearie Tale are also among my favorites!!! You will love them too! ;) |
