The label of 'fairy' has at times applied only to specific magical creatures with human appearance, magical powers, and a penchant for trickery. At other times it has been used to describe any magical creature, such as goblins and gnomes. In \u003cem\u003eFairies\u003c\/em\u003e, discover the charming story behind our best loved magical characters, including the Fairy Godmother, Shakespeare's Titania and the beloved Tinker Bell. Myths and stories about fairies do not have a single origin, but are rather a collection of folk beliefs from disparate sources. Various folk theories about the origins of fairies include casting them as either demoted angels or demons in a Christian tradition, as deities in Pagan belief systems, as spirits of the dead, as prehistoric precursors to humans, or as spirits of nature. \u003cem\u003eFairies\u003c\/em\u003e is a pocketful of delight, packed with beautiful images and full of fascinating tales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA journalist for more than two decades, \u003cb\u003eDominic Connolly\u003c\/b\u003e was for many years arts editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Mail on Sunday\u003c\/i\u003e.
