of Spring Cottage
Art by Wendy Froud Story by
Terri Windling
Published by Simon & Schuster May 2003; $21.00
Hardcover 48 pages, with 25 full-color illustrations
 In
collaboration with award-winning folklorist Terri Windling,
Wendy Froud has conjured up an endearing faery hero - a furry
denizen of the Old Oak Wood with an insatiable appetite for
pink cakes and adventure: Sneezlewort Rootmuster Rowanberry
Boggs the Seventh.
Albeit a young root faery - 201 as humans reckon, but merely
a child in faery years - Sneezle is already quite famous
for his daring feats. In their last book of enchantment,
The
Winter Child, Froud and Windling brilliantly revealed the
amazing story of how Sneezle, with a little help from his
friend Twig, rescued a precious tot born from a golden egg
by storming a goblin tower.
Blending their spectacular artistic and storytelling talents
to mesmerizing perfection, Froud and Windling have created
another magical volume.
THE FAERIES OF SPRING COTTAGE is destined
to become a classic among fans of faery tales, fantasy literature,
and all things Froudian.
