Fairy Types

Tradition suggests that if the Faeries could be put into categories, they would fall into three broad groups –

The ‘High Faeries’, who were well known in the Middle Ages. They dress in velvet and gold, wear glittering jewellery and live in fabulous castles, complete with knights on white steeds and armies with trumpets and banners.

The ‘Little People’, who are the imps, pixies, brownies, sprites, fauns, dwarves and leprechauns who inhabit woodland and dale and are most often met by those who work on the land. Some may be helpful while others are known for their mischief-making.
