Edit: Author is Terry Jones; Illustrated by Brian Froud. I would have initially included that but didn’t think anyone would see this. Glad everyone enjoys, though based on the comments some of you are enjoying it too much…

My grandma gave me this book when I was 8. Don't know what the he'll she was thinking but she definitely didn't read it first. If the pictures are crazy the writing is crazier.

Terry Jones of Monty Python wrote this book and is pictured in it as, Lady Cottington. I always thought that was awesome.

Dunno. I collected pretty much everything MP but had to leave this. Didn't find it funny or remotely interesting. Prefered MPs Big Red Bok. Gillian's Animations of Mortality etc. Pleased if others enjoy it though.

All these horny comments not realizing they're looking at corpses. Hopefully.

Hopefully they don't realize, or hopefully they're looking at corpses?

These pictures make me want to write like an old timey eccentric British man. "Faries? Such crude and perverse little creatures. You would do very well to avoid engaging in their antics, else you find yourself as crude and perverse as they are. And rightly your fellow humans will wish you away to the fae. Right then, a saucer of warm milk with sugar and a dash of cinnamon should get the little buggers to leave you be."

A weird combination of horny and grim, given they're all squashed and dead.

Horny and sadistic isn't unusual.

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I draw a pretty firm line at "dead", personally

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

A surprising number of people don't.

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Not a 100% firm line, mind you. Sexy ghosts? That's on the table.

They didn’t die. In the book it’s explained these are physic imprints. Which is why the fairies were having so much fun pulling faces etc

well, that's a key bit of information withheld, @tonysarver

Well, that's a relief

I like the art, but I do feel a little sorry for their squished little faces

That's exactly how I felt, especially for the first one. Her wings look painfully twisted up.

She took two hits to squish

Youre actually supposed to! My friends mom had this coffee table book. The story to go with these is that the little girl who decided to press the fairies like flowers was writting her findings of the fairies too. By the end of the book shes describes not finding anymore because she pressed too many and they died out.

Super interesting for a short story.

This is absolutely not true. It had been a while since I read it, and I'm grateful for the motivation to take it off the shelf once more to confirm that no fairies were harmed in the production of this book. The fate of little girls is another thing altogether.

The book is in my lap. I encourage you to find a copy.
Not just to confirm the plot, but because it is a truely beautiful book.

It's certainly disturbing, just not in the way you remember.
