"The Frouds have created an enchanted environment in which to live and make their art. Their friendship is one I (Terri Windling) treasure, and the creative ferment of their lives fills me with quiet awe. But one needn't travel to English shores to enter into the Land of Froud. All you need is to look closely at a book or a picture created by Brian and/or Wendy. Contained within each painting is a door into the Faery realms."

Brian Froud's The Runes of Elfland: Visions and Stories from the Faerie Alphabet

In 24 never-before-seen paintings, best-selling fantasy artist Brian Froud interprets the ancient and mystical runes of Celtic and European origin through Elfland, a world of faeries and myth. Each painting is inspired by a specific rune, richly symbolic and potent icons open to infinite interpretations. In the hands of the exceptional folklorist and poet Ari Berk, the secret meanings of these runes are revealed and their power is made manifest. In the pages of this book a single symbol provides the visual key to a host of mythic stories, lands, and adventures. By using the runes and Froud's paintings as tools to explore both the "seen" and the "unseen" world, readers of The Runes of Elfland will be inspired to reimagine their own lives and tell their own tales. Both storybook and oracle, Runes of Elfland provides a wellspring of personal insight for the Froud fan and the Faery aficionado.

The Faeries' Oracle

The Faeries' Oracle is a delightfully enlightening book with a dazzling deck of sixty-six faery divination cards based on Brian Froud's Good Faeries, Bad Faeries. Beginning with an imaginative journey into the realm of gnomes, moon dancers, and boggarts, the book introduces the most powerful and important members of the faery kingdom, all radiantly rendered by Froud on the cards. Join Brian Froud and Jessica Macbeth on the journey into Faeryland and learn how to understand its magical powers through the popular practice of divination.

Good Faeries/Bad Faeries

In Good Faeries/Bad Faeries, Brian Froud has attempted to divide faeries into good and bad-- a convenient conceit for us humans, but laughable to the faery folk.  Faeries insist on being themselves, shape-shifting endlessly.  Good and bad coexist in some degree in all of Faery's creatures...

Brian Froud's Faerielands

Brian Froud collaborated with four authors who would write a story based off of his artwork, rather than Brian creating artwork for an existing story. These four tales are called the Faerieland Series and due to publishing issues, only two were released with Brian Froud's artwork (The Wild Wood and Something Rich and Strange).

"They had the freedom to write whatever they chose, just as I'd had the freedom to paint what I chose; yet we'd agreed on a central premise: a recognition that Faerie, inextricably bound as it is to nature and natural forces, is gravely threatened by the ecological crises that human beings have brought to our world." --Brian Froud
