"Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Letters," a facsimile reproduction of Lady Cottington's original volume, combines the nutty artistry of the first two Lady Cottington books with delightful novelty components. And the fairies.ah the fairies.they too have done their part, sprinkling magic and mayhem throughout. Lady Cottington has made notes in the margins not to mention smashed fairies throughout (will she EVER STOP this nasty habit?!).
All about fairies, these hilarious letters contain everything from wisdom to suggestions to chastisement.
