Yes, Virginia, faeries really do exist!
I remember "seeing my first faery" when I was about 8 (altho' of course I probably saw them prior to this & just don't remember; or didn't have the mental catergory for my experience yet, etc.). It was a REAL fairy standing within a hedgerow, with wings seemingly bejeweled and a very gentle, loving, playful vibe. She smiled impishly and beckoned to me with her hand, making it clear she wanted me to somehow come with her. I was thoroughly entranced, but her invitation so astonished me that I ran off in fright!
Have also seen elves......also a troll or a gnome once, I'm not sure which he was..... They have always been a benign presence in my life (some people and some tales indicated that some species can be anything from annoying to harmful, but I cannot confirm this based on my own experiences).
2. Fairies: Real Encounters with Little People. By Janet Bord, published 1977 by Michael O'Mara Books Ltd., 9 Lion Yard Tremadoc Road, London SW4 7NQ. I got it directly, however, by ordering it from One Spirit Book Club, a new off-shoot of Book of the Month Club. (This new off-shoot carries all kinds of fascinating stuff. Also, Amazon Books -- which is always advertising itself on Search Engines, at least on Alta Vista, probably has it or could get it.......) This, too, is quite good.
Lots more to share with you, only if you want.......... (including that the greatest singer/recording artist of all things Faery is Donovan. Are you familiar with him? Let me know & I'll turn you on to his amazing music. During the Beatles' incredible world-riding hey-day, Donovan was right up there, almost as Big (INDEED!) as the Beatles, himself. He is now back with, of course, another ravishing album......and he never abandons his relationship with the fey world in his music writing.
