Do you believe in fairies?
“Human nature seems to abhor a blank space on a
map. Where there are no human habitations, no
towns, where villages dwindle into farms and farms
into woods, mapping stops. Then the imagination
rushes to fill the woods with something other than
blank darkness: nymphs, satyrs, elves, gnomes, pixies,
fairies,” says Diane Purkiss, author of Troublesome
Things: A History of Fairies & Fairy Stories.
