The Tylwyth Teg....The faer folk
Mmmmm.....been thinking on the faer folk again after bit of internet browsing and feel compelled to mention the difference between 'faeries' and 'fairies', as one of them is a child like Tinkerbell creature (a good way for victorians to fullfill certain disgusting fantasies) and the other is a dweller of the Otherworld. In Celtic faerylore there is no mention of winged beings (apart from dragons) and a few trips into the aforementioned Otherworld will quickly re-inforce this. Fairies are for kids (the winged ones) but please just remember those victorians!
