Fairies
have bodies which reflect their anomalousness, subtly
or directly. Fairies are also particularised to the
local situation, as the changing role of nymphs indicates.
Fairies are common to peasant cultures, cultures where
the centre of life is the village and the space around
it.
Most
believe fairies do not exist, but too many stories
abound that dispute this belief. They may be known
as the Little People, or Leprechauns, or Wood Folks,
and many other common names. But I believe they
do exists.
