Whether on top of the Christmas tree, at the bottom of the garden,
or in school plays, today fairies are considered sweet, dainty
creatures with wands and butterfly wings. But, as Diane Purkiss
shows, they have far more wicked origins as troublemakers, child
snatchers, seducers, and changelings, representing society's
deepest fears and desires regarding birth, sex, and death. From
these dangerous beings of ancient myths and medieval folklore to
the sanitized "wingy thingies" of Shakespeare and the Victorians,
and even modern myths of alien abduction, this is a riveting
chronicle of the need to believe in fairies.
