Books, Books, Books and Fairies!
My sister first gave it to me some years ago now for my birthday, and it was my first encounter with Brian Froud.
I fell instantly in love with this book. It's beautifully illustrated with a cute and whimsical story based loosely on the Cottingley Fairies. If you know nothing about the Cottingley Fairies I suggest you look it up to find out, if only for interests sake as it is not necessary for enjoying this book. In this story a little girl named Angelica Cottington has the ability to see fairies, and loves nothing more then to spend her days, squashing them between the pages of her books. It's a wonderful book for anyone in love with fairies or fairy art, and would make a wonderful gift or special treat for yourself.

I’ve had for many years now and have loved since it was given to me. Since this book I have purchased many other Brian Froud illustrated books, but this one is still one of my favourites, if only for sentimental reasons ;)
