		Brian Froud is one of those artists whose magical designs and whimsical creations stay with you long after you turn the page.
		Froud and Jones, entirely tongue-in-cheek on this one, purport to have found this journal, and to have recreated the unusual experiments contained within, to make manifest these creatures and record them for posterity.
		Froud is easily one of the best "faery artists" of this era, much like Arthur Rackham was for his generation, comparable only to someone like Charles Vess.

		Here is the visual magic of the spectacular movie The Dark Crystal, in which Jim Henson and Frank Oz of Muppet fame, and their associates, collaborate with the celebrated illustrator Brian Froud (Faeries and The Land of Froud), to create a fantastic ancient civilisation — bringing to life its people, geography, laws, language and mythology.
		With over 200 pictures by Brian Froud (most in full colour) and its story of Tolkien–like fascination, this book is both a lavish introduction to the world of The Dark Crystal and a work of fantasy and artistry that stands completely on its own.
		By means of dramatic illustration and imaginative text, Brian Froud and Professor J.J. Llewellyn have recreated – through the “writings” of the wise and ancient woman Aughra – the complex and absorbing world of the film so perfectly that it could almost have existed.

		For example, next to Froud’s drawing of a very grubby goblin named the Royal Lady Empyreuma Frouzy, the authors’ goblin informer writes: "nonsense this is sardine sallie she olde girrlfriend." The whole book is pretty delightful, even for—or perhaps especially for—those who couldn’t stand Froud’s pretty, ethereal faeries.
		The book is chock-full of details about goblins -- not just biographies of the devious creatures -- but a deeper look at their culture (holidays, games, personal relationships, guilds and social structure); in short, the collaborators have done their homework and shine forth as the leading ethnographers of the faerie world.

		I've been a fan of Brian Froud's artwork ever since he and Alan Lee did "Fairies." The comparison to Rackham is a good one, although Froud favors the grotesque more than Rackham did.
		Wendy Froud (her name wasn't Froud at the time, but I forget what it was) was a dollmaker who designed and made models for some of the characters on "The Dark Crystal," which is how she met Brian, who was the conceptual designer.
		Years and years and years ago I came upon a picture book about the Black Death illustrated and (maybe) written by Brian Froud, but the title escapes me. Despite, or even because, of the grim subject matter, the pictures were wonderful.
