Shhh...can you hear it? Listen! The fluttering of tiny wings! Butterflies? Perhaps, or hummingbirds, maybe. Look closer! See with that part of you where imagination lives. Recall the innocence of wonder through a child's eyes. Now can you see them? Fairies! Beautiful and wonderfilled. Sometimes they appear as bright green leaves shimmering in the breeze. Other times they may emerge as flowers, or beautiful winged nature spirits - simply Fairies. <p> This begs a few definitions - such as ‘What are fairies?’ and ‘What is the difference between fairies and goblins, pixies, brownies, elves, gnomes, elementals and a whole host of other ‘little folk’?’ And, as if the answers to these two questions aren’t tricky enough, what is the difference between fairies (and their ilk) and a whole range of other fleetingly-seen ‘supernatural’ events such as ghosts, will o’the wisps, earthlights, or even – and the similarities are greater than you might think – UFOs and ‘alien abductions’? In this article I will attempt to answer these three questions, although it might be better to say that I will be looking less at the differences between them than drawing attention to the close similarities. <p> The fairy tradition in literature begins in the 1380s, with Chaucer and Gower. In their eyes, the fairies are already a vanishing race, partly frightening and partly comic. The implication (particularly in the preamble to The Wife of Bath’s Tale) is that people used to believe in fairies, but don’t do so any more. However, the fairy mythology as a consistent set of beliefs (dancing in rings, living in hills, the rule of a queen, and so on) is itself created by the writers who claim to be recording its final echoes. Earlier evidence does not describe these fairies. Instead it details encounters with various supernatural beings who were, in retrospect, treated as if they had been citizens of fairyland. </font></td></tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> Fairies attract a lot of attention from young and old.
