I thought of them rather like nature spirits, like nymphs. Don't Susan Price's Sterkarm novels suggest another explanation for fairies, -so I'll put in a word for those splendid books! after all in many myths or poems or ballads (Tam Lin etc) they are human size, mysterious, and amoral, like the ones in Midsummer Night's Dream which seem to change size to interact with humans in their rather cruelly playful way.Lydia Bennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328239009863878547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-80621077454507597292014-08-06T21:45:58.476+01:002014-08-06T21:45:58.476+01:00I love these kind of 'faery' tales too.
