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.
