Page "Brian Froud" Paragraph 1

His work has been used as the inspiration for creatures in films such as The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth ( both in conjunction with Jim Henson's Creature Shop ).

He collaborated with Terry Jones, who was a screenwriter on Labyrinth, on The Goblins of the Labyrinth ( 1986, re-issued in abridged form as The Goblin Companion: A Field Guide to Goblins in 1996 ), and subsequently on a number of non-Labyrinth-related books about fairies and goblins, namely of the " Lady Cottington " series, such as Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book.

He has also worked with American writer Ari Berk on more recent books, including Goblins and " The Runes of Elfland ", and produced art books such as Good Faeries / Bad Faeries.

One of his most famous art books, Faeries, produced in collaboration with Alan Lee, was the basis of a 1981 animated feature of the same name.
