The Book of the People

From Artemis Fowl

The Book is the ancient fairy holy book created by King Frond that lists the People's laws and fairy customs.

[edit] First Appearance

In the first book, Artemis Fowl II reads the Book, the first human to do so in millenia. Artemis gained the information about the possible whereabouts of a fairy with such a book from a man named Nguyen Xuan who responded to an Internet query that Artemis posted. Artemis then took the book from a Fairy healer, who traded a half hour of looking at the Book for her life and the return of her magic.

[edit] Characteristics

If someone touches a copy of the Book without the permission of its owner, it spontaneously combusts. It is described as a "tiny golden volume the size of a matchbox". It is inscribed in the fairy language of Gnommish.

[edit] Rules

In the Book you can find: the rules that control the life of a fairy, how to complete The Ritual, the history of the fairies, official LEP procedures and other vital things. One rule, for example, is the Rule of Dwelling.
