Brian Froud’s illustrated collections explore the creatures of his fantasy worlds in depth. The Goblins of Labyrinth (1986) documents the goblins he designed for the Jim Henson film, presented as a naturalist’s field guide to goblin species. Trolls (1996) and The Goblin Companion: A Field Guide to Goblins (1996) continue the conceit, catalouging trolls and goblins with Froud’s detailed, often humorous artwork.

These books sit between art book and comedy, with Froud treating his imaginary creatures as real subjects worthy of serious (if tongue-in-cheek) study.
