Use the magical stickers to complete games, activites and puzzles, then create your very own glittery picture!

Fairies have, under one name or another, been with us since ancient times. They are ever intriguing, yet ever elusive, and no book, no picture, no description will ever satisfy our curiosity, fully define their nature, or establish their existence.

Elizabeth Ratisseau's approach, in this book, is to show paintings of fairies by various artists, some of whom claim to have looked upon fairies, and others who have used their imagination, and the reports of others, to make fairies tangible. She has supplemented these images with selected quotations which bear tangentially on the adjacent images.

The result is , we hope, a powerful evocation of these mysterious beings.

Mermaids are real.  I have seen one with my own eyes. 

Come closer, and I'll share the secrets she entrusted to me - the secrets of the mermaid's treasure. 

An interactive book.

I have discovered that there are five special places where fairies make their homes; places where they are able to live in harmony with nature, safely hidden from human eyes… 

An interactive pop-up book.

A little over thirty years ago, the beloved Dutch artist Rien Poortvliet and his scientist friend Will Huygen sat down to clarify, once and for all, the facts about Gnomes. This book contains a wealth of practical Gnome-knowledge, including information about architecture, education, courtship, medicine, and industry among the Gnomes.

Gnome culture, too, is given its due, including medicinal herbs that cure everything from sneezing to sunburn, popular destinations for Gnomes on honeymoon, and of course, the construction and significance of the all-important Gnome cap. All this adds up to a book full of lore, history, and tongue-in-check fun. Three decades later, Gnomes continues to engage and enchant readers of all ages.

In the long-awaited sequel to the international bestseller Faeries, artist Brian Froud rescues pixies, gnomes, and other faeries from the isolation of the nursery and the distance of history, bringing them into the present day with vitality and imagination. In this richly imagined book, Brian reveals the secrets he has learned from the faeries-what their noses and shoes look like, what mischief and gentle assistance they can give, what their souls and their dreams are like. As it turns out, faeries aren't all sweetness and light. In addition to such good faeries as Dream Weavers and Faery Godmothers, Brian introduces us to a host of less well behaved creatures-traditional bad faeries as Morgana le Fay, but also the Soul Shrinker and the Gloominous Doom.

The faery kingdom, we find, is as subject to good and evil as the human realm. Brilliantly documenting both the dark and the light, Good Faeries/Bad Faeries presents a world of enchantment and magic that deeply compels the imagination.

You are surrounded by loving and powerful angels who want to assist you in every area of your life.

In Healing with the Angels, Doreen Virtue, Ph.D., teaches esoteric and practical methods that can help you work with your angels in healing your relationships, body, career, and family issues. You'll read transcripts of Doreen's angel reading sessions and learn what the angels have to say about life after death, the future of the world, and finding your Divine purpose.

Discover the angelic meaning of numbers such as 111, how your past lives may effect your present-life issues, and why angels sometimes incarnate in human form. You'll also explore the fascinating world of elementals and nature angels and see how they can heal your pets, the world, and you.

Also included are angel affirmations to increase your self-confidence; and powerful angelic prayers for helping you find a soulmate, correct childhood behavioral issues, and heal from grief.

When a group of powerful fairies contacted Doreen Virtue, her life transformed into an enchanting story filled with healing messages and true love. Healing with the Fairies is Doreen's very personal story of how the fairies helped her deal with a divorce and prepare for a spiritually based relationship.

In this truly inspired book, you'll see how the fairies introduced Doreen to her lifelong soul mate, and you'll also learn, along with Doreen, about the fairies' incredible powers of manifestation. Doreen shares what the dolphins, mermaids, dragonflies, and other members of the elemental kingdom taught her about spiritual and romantic love, the environment, the future of our planet, and more... and you'll see that the fairies can help you attract and manifest miracles, too. In fact, this book will show you how to work with these magical beings to empower and heal your entire life!

In 1995 Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book was released to an unsuspecting public. Called "an unstoppable phenomenon" by its publisher, it became an immediate international best seller. Now 2005 can be named the Year of Lady Cottington with the 10 3/4 anniversary of the publication that first exposed the world to the science of fairy exploration. This volume records in authentic facsimile the latest incarnation of this notorious book along with eight additional pages and enhanced artwork throughout, virtually overflowing with freshly flattened fairies.

Former Monty Python member Terry Jones and artist Brian Froud provide a new introduction to place the book in its proper perspective, offering insight into the book's often maligned historic relevance.

As a bonus, included is a fairy sticker and an incriminating DVD showing rare film footage of the elderly Lady Cottington in her garden demonstrating her fairy-squashing technique, as well as a photo gallery, desktop wallpaper, and screen savers.

The mermaid is appealing both as a near-human and as a mystery. She looks up at our world, frequently falling in love with a human, tragically yearning for a world she cannot have.

We are drawn to mermaids because they, who are in so many ways like us, inhabit that vast kingdom beneath the sea which is both attractive and dangerous.

Our volume is a compilation of succinct and insightful extracts from the literature of mermaids, and also some of our favorite pictures of mermaids. The pictures are by a variety of painters (including Waterhouse, Bocklin, and Burne-Jones) and book illustrators (including Arthur Rackham, Edmund Dulac, and W. Heath Robinson.

Most of Shakespeare's plays involve fairies and magic, or both. Perhaps his most popular play, A Midsummer Night's Dream, brings fairies and the charming consequences of their magic to vivid life. And who can forget the famous incantation, "Double, double toil and trouble" from another favorite, Macbeth, which, epitomizes the magic spell for many.

Shakespeare on Fairies and Magic pairs the most memorable quotations from the bard with the best illustrations and paintings that have illuminated his works. The combination of brilliant word and inspired, unfettered imagery work perfectly together to evoke the supernatural world; Titania is regal and beautiful, the three witches are terrifying hags, and Puck, as always, brings a wry smile to the face.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), best known as the author of Sherlock Holmes stories but also a devout spiritualist, was entirely convinced by a set of photographs apparently showing two young girls from Cottingley in Yorkshire playing with a group of tiny, translucent fairies. To demonstrate his unshakable belief in the spirit world, he published The Coming of the Fairies in 1922. Doyle's book lays out the story of the photographs, their supposed provenance, and the implications of their existence. This quirky and fascinating book allows us to get inside the mind of an intelligent, highly respected man who happened to believe in fairies.

John M. Lynch's introduction to this edition provides the background to appreciate Doyle's claims and, without supporting the existence of fairies, to understand why Doyle wanted them to exist.

The photographs of the fairies are reproduced in their entirety, with the original captions, offering readers an opportunity to examine Doyle's and his supporters' claims to their authenticity.

In 1986, the magical fantasy movie Labyrinth introduced the world to a set of unforgettable goblins from the minds of Jim Henson and Brian Froud. Not only has the film become a classic with a huge cult following, but Brian Froud's long-out-of-print book about the malevolent and cantankerous goblins--packed with his brilliant drawings and paintings--has achieved similar cult status.

Now Abrams is proudly reissuing The Goblins of Labyrinth in a brand-new 20th Anniversary Edition. With even more artwork than the original and a new afterword from Brian Froud, this mesmerizing work, like Froud's The World of the Dark Crystal, also published by Abrams, is truly a must-have for collectors and Brian Froud fans everywhere.
