Synopsis
The Cottington Archive reluctantly announces that more information about the infamous Lady Cottington has surfaced: a scrapbook compiled by the fairy smasher herself of her correspondence with luminaries such as Queen Victoria, Annie Oakley, Igor Stravinsky, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Andrew Lang, P.T. Barnum, and more. All about fairies, these hilarious letters contain everything from wisdom to suggestions to chastisement. Lady Cottington has made notes in the margins not to mention smashed fairies throughout (will she EVER STOP this nasty habit?!). And the fairies...ah the fairies...they too have done their part, sprinkling magic and mayhem throughout.
Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Letters, a facsimile reproduction of Lady Cottington's original volume, combines the nutty artistry of the first two Lady Cottington books with delightful novelty components. Containing "actual" letters, invoices for "spiritual services," a fairy Valentine, an invitation from Alice Liddell to tea, and more, this newest interactive addition to the Lady Cottington series is the most innovative to date.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Brian Froud (illustrator). 1st Edition. Size 260mmX235mm. Lady Cottington's volume of letters has recently returned to the Archive after a long absence, having been purchased at an auction in New York. We are in doubt to its authenticity, its provenance being highly questionable and its subject being of such an obscure nature. It is unlikely that Lady Cottington, who died alone in the cavernous and cluttered mano, and who han not ventured forth into the outside world, and lived such an extraordinarily sheltered life, was so bestowed of such a rich catalogue of friends, associates, and admirers. Still, who can say? Seller Inventory # 001752
