Actually hesitated to open the box, I will get it by fate, but it is not the type I usually receive XD
This is a hardcover book, and the title of the cover is gilded and raised. The overall yellowed old book design style is very careful, the base map with mottled corners is changed, and the small note paper and handwritten text are mixed with hand-painted feeling.
● The butterfly pages before and after ↓
I’m not very familiar with the subject matter of the included content, but the movie "Fantasy Elf Incident Book" (The Spiderwick Chronicles) Covers many contexts. Arthur Spiderwick spent his entire life recording these "creatures" that existed in the human world but were not seen by the world in his book.
If they really exist, I don't know if I can accept them? The appearance of some creatures in the real world will scare XD once, but I really like the appearance of sprites in the movie. At least I believe that there are still many things that humans have not explored in this world, and many things that humans think they know the overall situation with their existing insights.
● sprites ↓
There are a lot of text (in English) in the book, about one page of pictures and one page of text. There are also several pull-page designs interspersed in it, and the way of opening is slightly different (upward, to the sides). Sure enough, the most impressive thing is the griffin on the cover~
● At first glance, it feels like the stone statue in the clock tower weird ↓
Official Introduction
It all began with a strange, mysterious correspondence left for authors Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black at a small New England bookstore. Written by three siblings, the letter told of their great-great-uncle Arthur Spiderwick and an unfinished tome filled with eyewitness accounts of creatures otherwise thought to be the stuff of legend. In the #1 New York Times bestselling serial the Spiderwick Chronicles, readers were enthralled by the account of the those siblings, Jared, Simon, and Mallory Grace, as they battled dwarves, goblins, elves, and a diabolical ogre in their efforts to hold on to their uncle Spiderwick, s life work. Now, through the combined efforts of the Grace children and authors Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black, Simon & Schuster is thrilled to present that work to you.
Beginning with a thoughtful and informative introduction, progressing through six exhaustive sections featuring thirty-one faerie species, and culminating with an addendum that includes observations supplied by Jared Grace, this long-awaited compendium to the worldwide Spiderwick phenomenon delivers enough information to satisfy even the most demanding faerie enthusiast. Not only will readers learn the habits and habitats of the fourteen fantastical creatures featured in the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling chapter books, but they will be delighted and astonished by an additional seventeen creatures. Also Included are dozens of snippets from Arthur Spiderwick, s personal journal as well as cameos from a few series favorites.
With so much to offer, this book is destined to be pored over for generations to come
