Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy Book
1998
Weight: 2 lbs
Method of Disposal: Left in Inman Park area
On a far less serious note, I am getting rid of a Pressed
Fairy Book. What a strange little thing…
One of my dearest friend’s mom loved the smooshed fairies
and had written a book about fairies herself and, somehow, that influenced me
to have this book all this time. A woman
sits very still and waits for a fairy to land in her book and then she smashes
it. She writes about their fear, her excitement,
her growth. It is actually quite
disturbing, but I can see how some people might find it entertaining so I hope
it finds a new home with one of those folks.
No, in all honesty, the drawings of the fairies are well done and all in
good fun. It even comes with a
publisher’s note about The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Fairies, and it explains that only two fairies really suffered. It is cute.
