Fairies have been a prevalent part of literature, art and mythical culture for ages.  Just what is a fairy?  A fairy is a tiny human-looking being with wings for flying.  They can change forms or disappear when needed.  Fairies have magical powers, such as the ability to change aspects of nature or to heal the sick. 

Although female fairies are more common, male fairies are also known to "exist".  Fairies move swiftly and become invisible as they blend into the woods.  They are rarely seen by humans, but written accounts seem to be consistent...  They wear green, gold or blue clothes which are thought to have been created from natural elements such as leaves and vines.  Fairies tend to live on hills, in woody dells, underwater or the "Other World" Fairyland.  They enjoy music and dancing.  They also love to play "innocent" tricks on each other.  Legend has it that fairies are capable of taking human lovers.  They've been known to enchant humans and trap them in the fairy realm...  And what a beautiful realm it must be!
