Goblins is probably one of the most delightful and witty Froud books I have yet to have fall into my hands. It seems to be presented as a book similar to Good Faeries, Bad Faeries, except the Goblins stole the manuscript before it was delivered to the publisher, and notes and opinions of the Goblins have been written throughout.

Another book containing Brian Froud's art, this time analysed and interpretted by Ari Berk. This book is a great reference, and fun book both - the goblins have overwritten the book's contents when they are in disagreement, including providing a better drawing as Mr Froud is a rubbish drawer (the goblin said it, not me!)

I recognise some of those goblins myself, including Shnelfig, the Wind Rider - who pushes your foot down on the accelerator when you're meant to be braking ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0810949415, Hardcover)

Anyone who brings home this book will be in big trouble. Renowned artist Brian Froud and scholar Ari Berk have conducted a thorough investigation into the goblin realm. (For the uninformed, goblins, a subspecies of faery, are those maleficent creatures that cause all manner of havoc in the human realm.) The fruit of their labor, however, turned out to be a rotten apple: the book is infected with goblins.

Now, thanks largely to Froud and Berk's continuing carelessness, the noxious, viscid, and largely nonsensical volume has been unleashed on an unsuspecting public. Among its pages are reproductions of the ancient, odoriferous Codex Goblinensis; a glossary of common goblins and their markings; and a gazetteer of goblin photographs taken with the arcane Goblin Camera. Those fearing an infestation can refer to the section detailing how to determine if you've "got goblins" and, if so, what you can do about it. (There is nothing you can do about it.)

Combining the folkloric approach of Faeries with the utter wackiness of Lady Cottington, this is the team's most visually rich and outrageous opus yet.
