This review is from: Wisewomen and Boggyboos: A Dictionary of Lesbian Fairy Lore (Paperback)

Though it's strange to me, authors (Froud, et al.) writing about the Faerie apparently typically just make the stuff up out of whole cloth.

Jessica Amanda Salmonson is one of the greatest and most sophisticated authors of Fantasy of all time. She was also devoutly feminist.

A websearch is recommended; she's done some brilliant essays.

Every entry in this book is graphically (though without any drawings) lesbian in nature, and many entries read like poetry.
