Brian Froud’s standalone works include two of his most distinctive books. Faeries (1978), created with fellow illustrator Alan Lee, is a landmark of fantasy illustration that catalogs fairies, goblins, and other creatures from British and Celtic folklore. The book became a bestseller and remains one of the most influential fairy art books ever published.
The Faeries’ Oracle (2000) takes a different approach, presenting Froud’s fairy artwork as a divination tool, with each illustration serving as an oracle card accompanied by interpretive text.
