Curator Sandra Kasturi has this to say:

Ah, finally, springtime is here, and with thoughts of flowers blooming and little animals bumbling sleepily out of their burrows in the woods, my thoughts naturally turn to other delightful springtime things—flowers and woods conjuring up thoughts of delightful fairies flitting about. And by “delightful” I of course mean “bad.” Charmingly, deliciously, deviously, wonderfully bad.

Who doesn’t love a bad fairy? Let’s be honest, it’s always the naughty ones who hold our interest! From old fairy stories gathered by collectors like Grimm or Yakuma, to Brian Froud’s gorgeous, detailed illustrations of pixies and kobolds, to Disney’s depiction of Maleficent, fairies have inhabited our cultural consciousnesses the world over for centuries, in our childhoods and dreamworlds, into our adult years and waking moments.

That’s why I’m curating the Bad Fairy Book Bundle for storybundle.com—I love those malignant creatures and I’ve found you a wonderful assortment of ten novels and collections by bestselling, legendary, award-winning authors and rising stars. Books full of bad (and sometimes good!) fairies as well as other astonishing beings and memorable characters.
