Brian and Wendy Froud's The Pressed Fairy Journal of Madeline Cot

Brian and Wendy Froud bring readers back into their world of bestselling books about the Cottingtons and their faeries

---

Renowned artist/author duo Brian and Wendy Froud present, for the first time, the backstory of Cottington Hall and its intriguing inhabitants: the family of Cottingtons and the faeries living among them. The rise and fall of this eccentric British family gives us humourous, and sometimes tragic, glimpses into how the Cottingtons became inexorably entwined with the faeries during the late 19th and 20th centuries. When a descendant, Maddi, visits the Cottingtons’s dilapidated hall, she finds herself caught up in a story of intrigue and mystery. Reading the letters and journals of her ancestors and discovering a wealth of inventions aimed at allowing humans to visit the fairy realm unharmed, Maddi slowly becomes aware of the faeries and their world.
