The illustrator of the popular Pressed Fairy albums and the author of The Runes of Elfland share their collaborative "investigations" into the maleficent world of goblins, in a nonsensical volume that profiles common goblin traits and offers advice on what to do if one's home becomes goblin infested. 50,000 first printing.

About the Author:
Brian Froud is an award-winning illustrator, author, and faery authority. His books include the international best-sellers Faeries, Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book, Lady Cottington's Fairy Album, and The Faeries' Oracle. He also served as the conceptual designer on Jim Henson's films The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. Froud lives in Devon, England. Ari Berk is a folklorist, poet, and scholar of literature, ethnography, iconography, and comparative myth. He is also the author of popular titles for children, as well as The Runes of Elfland with Brian Froud. Berk is associate professor of English at Central Michigan University.
From Publishers Weekly:
The conceit of renowned fantasy illustrator Froud’s latest book (after The Runes of Elfland; Lady Cottington’s Faerie Album; Faeries; etc.) is a clever one. The title page announces that, after working on the text and illustrations, Froud and his colleague Berk disappeared, leaving behind the dangerous fruits of their research into the goblin world. In a letter marked with suspicious red scribbles, they beg the publisher not to print their work, but the publisher decides to go ahead and release the book "as is"—which means that Froud’s drawings and Berk’s notes appear mussed up by dirty goblin fingerprints and scrawled with indignant goblin commentary. For example, next to Froud’s drawing of a very grubby goblin named the Royal Lady Empyreuma Frouzy, the authors’ goblin informer writes: "nonsense this is sardine sallie she olde girrlfriend." The whole book is pretty delightful, even for—or perhaps especially for—those who couldn’t stand Froud’s pretty, ethereal faeries.
