This unique volume presents the purported journal of Angelica Cottington, a Victorian-era lady whose encounters with the fae realm take a decidedly squashed turn. The narrative chronicles her lifelong obsession with collecting and preserving fairies, often with comically disastrous results. Exquisite illustrations by a renowned fantasy artist accompany the text, vividly depicting the unfortunate specimens and Lady Cottington's eccentric world. This satirical work masterfully blends dark humor with fantastical elements, offering a delightfully macabre take on traditional fairy lore. It illustrates a world where the whimsical meets the grotesque, all told with a dry, witty sensibility.
