The Goblin Companion – A Field Guide to Goblins, by Brian Froud & Terry Jones

The Goblin Companion – A Field Guide to Goblins, by Brian Froud & Terry Jones. 1996 hardcover. 96 pages, very nice condition.

Earthy, enigmatic, and--until now--elusive, the goblin is little known and even less well understood. Thanks to Brian Froud's discovery of the notebooks of Dashe, a goblin portraitist, this rare breed is now an open book. This is a definitive, profusely illustrated field guide to the goblin world, annotated by Terry Jones, Monty Python professor emeritus of Obscure, Absurd and Truly Hilarious Arts. Features a number of fantastic full-color illustrations.

Brian Froud (born 1947) is an English fantasy illustrator and conceptual designer. He is most widely known for his 1978 book Faeries with Alan Lee, and as the conceptual designer of the Jim Henson films The Dark Crystal (1982) and Labyrinth (1986). Froud is "one of the most pre-eminent visualizers of the world of faerie and folktale.” Froud is a legend.
