Welcome to Litsy!

One of my fav coffee table books to pull out for the spooky season. A young girl presses fairies between the pages of her diary. Never thought I'd enjoy seeing squished and squashed fairies, but here we are.

What a weird, strange, fascinating book. Diary entries of a girl who collects fairies by squishing them between the pages of her book, like pressing flowers. Lots of illustrations of squished fairies, so you‘ll need a good sense of humour! Captivating all the same!

Some evening reading in honor of Terry Jones.

Terry Jones, who was famously known as a bringer of joy as a part of Monty Python's Flying Circus, but who also was the author of several books, has died.

one of the diary entries.

one of the faeries.

Book 135 of 2019

What a strange cool book. It reads like diary entries with illustrations of fairies. It is supposed to be a true diary of Lady Cottington and her real account of the faeries. Very interesting.

Remember the old story of a British girl who saw real fairies and took pictures of them? Well this book is making fun of that. This is the journal of a little girl who is studying the fairies, and pressing them between the pages of the book like flowers. You must have a sense of humor because their are lots of drawing of squished fairies, but I found it quite amusing. 😈

As I have seen my dream of starting a Little Free Library and/or a Boîte à livre anywhere in my city dwindle to nothing, I have decided to join The Book Fairies movement. I have books to give, to liberate from my shelves, and darn it, I'm gonna do it. So there.

After my paranormal phase I moved on to faeries. I have soooo many books on the subject. Here are a selection of my favourites. 1 of 4.

This one is hilarious! Actual real life faeries squashed between every page with 'hand written' entries. The illustrations are irreverent but, like everything thing Brian Froud is responsible for, utterly wonderful.

I always have and always will #believe in fairies. #jubilantjuly

Day 24: Classic Movie Monster

I do not partake in scary.

But GOBLINS are found in scary movies, right!?! 😱 👻 🎥

This book is one of my all time favorites. If you do not own a copy, go get one.
