Goblins come in all shapes and sizes. This gallery of slimy portraits includes such smelly denizens of the Labyrinth as Hallow goblins, the Klutton, Zitzie, Stench and Foregoblins.

Earthy, enigmatic, and--until now--elusive, the goblin is little known and even less well understood. Thanks to Brian Froud's discovery of the notebooks of Dashe, a goblin portraitist, this rare breed is now an open book. This is a definitive, profusely illustrated field guide to the goblin world, annotated by Terry Jones, Monty Python professor emeritus of Obscure, Absurd and Truly Hilarious Arts. Full-color illustrations

A huge heavy book, full of conceptual designs of about 100 different goblins (some from the movie, the others in hiding in the Labyrinth) by Brian Froud, all faithful reproductions of his ink on parchment original drawings, with Monty style narrative curtesy of Terry Jones. There's also a generous amount of full colour prints of the Wiseman, Sir Didymus, Toby and a brown-haired girl who was the predecessor of our Sarah. Shame about there being no pics of Jareth, as he himself was originally conceptualised as a muppet (cue thoughts of Sarah dancing with a Big Bird equivalent). If you love Brian Froud's Fantasy art and love Labyrinth, you will need to have this book.

( How slow is an ogre? How do you get rid of a dragon if ...)
How slow is an ogre? How do you get rid of a dragon if it’s on your roof? Would you go off with a fly-by-night? And who was the funniest dog in the world? These are a few of the important questions that are answered in this book. Terry Jones’s fairy tales take readers to strange lands and fabulous kingdoms where they will find mystery and magic, sadness and silliness, and more adventures than they will know what to do with.

In a small village in 14th-century England, a bright young boy named Tom is restless. Tired of studying and digging ditches, he dreams of noble crusades in far-off lands. He decides that he must have his freedom and flees to the forest to elude pursuers. There he meets the terrifying Wolfman, who becomes an unexpected friend. Throughout his eventful journey, Tom encounters a colorful assortment of characters, but none more lively than Alan, who leads them both to France to fight for king and country. With its non-stop adventure and marvelous humor, readers will be turning the pages as quickly as they can to follow Tom and Alan through ambush and skirmish, battle and siege. Terry Jones, a former member of the legendary Monty Python group, is also the author of Nicobobinus and Fairy Tales and Fantastic Stories. Michael Foreman is the award-winning illustrator of numerous books, including Farm Boy, War Boy, and The Little Ships.
