If you can find it, it's worth it

Brian Froud does it again with this beautifully illustrated book. This book is centered around goblins (rather than faeries). Still good, but sometimes hard to find. Good luck tracking it down, Froud fans! You won't regret it!

Great book, but rather odd...

A splendid blend of hilarious text and even-more-hilarious art, The Goblin Companion is great for the accomplished goblinologist, on for the dedicated fan of the movie Labyrinth.

Another awesome accomplishment Brian!!!

I discovered this book at a small store in England, and instantly fell in love. On the plane back here, I read the whole thing twice. It is very interesting and often funny!! If you loved Good Faeries/Bad Faeries (or vice versa) you'll LOVE this book!!

AS usual froud pleases with another great book

I recently got this book for Christmas and I was lucky enough to recieve a first edition that was unread and I was thrilled with it's content as was I with Froud's other books. This book contains very interesting stories of many goblinish beings, and most of them with Froud's sense of humor which bring them them to life. Needless to say, this book is another great book by Froud and will be put with all my other books on my Brian Froud shrine!

A great behind the scenes look at Labyrinth

Once again Brian Froud uses his imense talent to bring fantasy to life in an always humorous way. The book has the look of a field guide with sketches and spilled ink over the pages. a wonderful book from the illustrator of Faeries.
