Anyone else got books about Queen that mention the fairy feller's master stroke?

You're a rude little chestnut aren't you?
John Lemon
No, I'm not. I just asked if somebody else can contribute with material (from books).
I'll tell you what books I already have access to (thanks to the library), so you don't come up with information I already have:
- Freddie Mercury: A kind of magic by Mark Blake
- The fairy feller's master-stroke by Harry Edwin Eiss
I don't really need additional information on the painting (there are are lots of sources on the internet/online databases, but maybe someone has some more books that at least mention the song.
Thanks in advance!

'The Ultimate Illustrated History' by Phil Sutcliffe (the 2009 edition, at least) only mentions that the song was inspired by a painting. It doesn't say anything else.
'The Early Years' (by Mike Hodkinson) and 'The First 12 Years' (by Mike West) only mention its title and say nothing about it.
David Minns, George Tremlett, Larry Pryce, Lesley Ann Jones, Peter Freestone and Rupert White don't metion the song at all.
Georg Purvis certainly does, as his (fantastic) book has a section going through each and every song, but I can't find my copy and, off the top of my head, it doesn't mention anything 'new' about this song, only the stuff I already told you about from audio and magazine interviews or Brian's website.
No idea about 'As It Began' since I lost my copy a decade or so ago... and 'Is This the Real Life' probably also regurgitates the same info you can find elsewhere (e.g. Wikipedia).

why the hate regarding the poster ?
i think it's alright to ask the experts for some help on a certain topic.
and srsly ? he's doing some about a queen song! wish him all the best.
and... btw... regarding the picture... there ARE references. but it's legitime to ask about references about the song.

Because he has been busy threatening and slandering other members of the forum to the point that law enforcement has been involved.
The moderator here said in another thread that the only reason why this person's account hasn't been deleted is so that a record of all the dialogue can be maintained.
Never a dull moment here.
