description: Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Journal is the faithful record of thefairies who appeared to Angelica Cottington throughout her earliest years.And not only written accounts - for this book is nothing less than aphysical record of actual living fairies. Lady Cottington kept a detaileddiary of her fairy sightings and this is reproduced here, alongside thepressings of the fairies themselves and the fairy calendar. AngelicaCottington discovered that if she sat still with the book upon her lap,fairies (being inquisitive creatures) would come fluttering around her, andwith a sure eye, a quick lunge, and a firm snapping together of the book shecould catch the fairies between her pages and thus preserve theirappearance.To the human observer, it may seem that there are a lot of fairyanniversaries and celebrations. In fact, there are comparatively few daysthat are not. Unlike humans, fairies consider the act of enjoying oneselfto be superior to the act of 'making money' or 'taking life seriously' or'justifying one's own existence' or 'being a credit to oneself.' Fairiesthink all that sort of thing is plain daft. There are, therefore, few daysin the fairy calendar that do not involve some sort of celebration.Lady Cottington preserved the beauty of her fairy friends within the pagesof Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book. Now this same beauty of the fairyworld is available in a journal, decorated with fairy history and unusualfairy photographs. This journal includes not-so-well-known facts about thefairy world and important dates for fairy lovers to remember.
