Fairy Faith Brian Froud interview excerpt

[faeriologist1]

Wow, this has been going around for a long time! I'm happy to have found it!

[AnalieSkywind]

Faeries are utterly real and beautiful

[theuninspiredpoet]

I have been obsessed with faeries since the age of 4 because of this wonderful man. I'm at university now and whenever someone asks me who my favourite artists are, I reel off a list of Pre-Raphaelite and Romantic painters, but Brian Froud always comes first.

[christuimbirek]

fairy are no moor upseard then the spirits of the aboriginal americans

[YourDarkAccomplice]

@christuimbirek - Absolutely. I think it's more ludicrous to believe in "invisible beings" (like gods/angels/devils) but dismiss other people's belief in the folklore spirits of nature and life as "silly." Lol

[ccipollini1984]

I believe in fairies as much as I believ in God. I don't question either.

[magnatrope]

i love you Brian Froud! you are a true inspiration.

[xTheLaughingFishx]

I've been able to see faerys and faery lights ever since I can remember, they're everywhere. When I was little I used to call them "fuzzies."

Mr. Froud is my idol; since reading his books for the first time (when I was about ten), I no longer feel the need to question my own sanity. I highly recommend "The Fairy Faith" Btw.

[theAuroraLilyLauren]

Faeries!! ~they are all around us, forever~ Amen..

[mariozeldakirby]

"People often ask me, how do you see faeries?, and I say, Well you don't see them through the eyes, you see them through the heart. And that took me a long time to learn 'cause I was always trying to see them through my eyes."

that quote is just breathtaking..

[tobysilverstone]

[20Hairspray07]

i love fairies. i belive in tinker bell. lol

[Steeleperfect]

I've seen many of the Good Neighbours, starting with a Gnome. As a druid, I now spend a lot of time with them.

[dianaandjackiejfk]

I wish there were more interviews with him. You rarely hear people talking about faeries. There are a million ghost shows, but no faerie show.

[bellini2008]

this is a wonderful thing, they live their world - the world of Faerie is another expression after all for the human spirit and the spirit of the world. ... the world would be a happier place if everyone had the talent to acknowledge such a perception ...

[beesbzz]

I know Faeries very personally.

[NunaFeedTheDucks]

I have fairies in my heart....

[therealfaeree]

Ooh makes me want to get this movie!

[borimirtheboring]

Darn. This was too short.

[xCrestfallen]

Fairy's exist. :]
