Review of "Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Letters" by Brian Froud, Ari Berk

Oh happy day! This is a new collection and it contains letters that were only recently discovered. You may remember Lady Cottington from an earlier encounter. She saw and collected and pressed the lovely fairies into books to save them. Here we are given a collection of letters that were sent to her from famous people. There are letters from Oscar Wilde, Wendy Darling of Peter Pan fame and Queen Victoria. Every page of this delightful book is fun to open. You get a picture of a startled fairy, the envelope and the exact letter that was sent to the lady.

Is this book for children? I don’t think so. Pressing fairies is not a pleasant thought to encounter. Adults however will enjoy the amazed expressions of each of the fairies at being collected.

I loved all the information about Lady Cottlington and her marvelous collection in the earlier books about her. This is a great addition to my collection,
