The Lady Cottington series is among Brian Froud’s most playful works. Lady Cottington’s Fairy Album (2002) and Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy Letters (2005) are presented as the personal albums and correspondence of a fictional Victorian woman who has a habit of pressing fairies between the pages of her books.

The series combines Froud’s fairy illustrations with a dryly humorous narrative voice, creating an art book that doubles as a comedy about one woman’s peculiar relationship with the fairy world.
