Two words: THE BEST!! Thanks a bunch for making this page. Lots of info, pictures, stories, and wonderful music. Keep up the great work, I'll check back time to time. Now, if I can get myself some free web space, I'll go and make myself a fairy page too!

I came back and realized that I had been put on the "strange and unusual comments page." I'll consider that a compliment. I have recieved lots of mail~ thanx! put since people are responding I figured that I would inform you all that I have a new e-mail address. keep writing!

Hello, my name is Toshimi Nakamura, from Japan. I accessed your webpages and I found them wonderful with the details of introduction of books over fairies. I have a website on the Internet, too. As I am very much interested in Ireland, I introduce regions in Ireland and Irish culture to Japanese people. I am planning on updating my webpages to include Irish fairy tales, however, it is very difficult to find books about Irish fairies in Japan. So I have been searching webpages and finally found yours. I am intending to purchase "Ancient Legends of Ireland" by Lady Wilde and "Irish Fairy and Folk Tales" by W. B. Yeats. I also would like other Irish fairy stories such as Cluracaun, Ganconer, Dullahan and Far Darrig. I am wondering if you knew some titles including those fairy stories. If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd appreciate it if you could reply to me. I am looking forward to it. Sincerely yours, Toshimi Nakamura

Hello.Stumbled across this page and I am glad I did!This is a wonderful page.

I liked your fairy poetry, I wish that you had more.

This is a wonderful page. You should be very proud. It's visually, culturally and, well, everything is just wonderful. I've really enjoyed myself

Absolutely excellent site!

I was so pleased to find this sight. I really need some help in finding and old fairy tale written in the late 40's, early 50'. When I was in hospital with polio my dad read a book over and over to me, Dooley the Whistling Wizard. There was also his hourse heathcliff, the evil spider lady, and Crahoolaba. It would mean a lot to myself and my dad if I could locate a copy or find out where to look. N. Bradbury

I found this site in the article "The Mystery of the Cottingley Fairies" in the magazine "Muse", which my son gets. I "became" a fairy at a conference I recently attended, as a way to motivate people to volunteer, and in doing so, found a true, inner fairy nature in myself. In appreciation of my efforts, a conference participant made me a wonderful fairy out of clay, sequins and feathers, and so I have started a fairy collection. So, my question to you is, do you know where I might get more fairies??? Ceramic, cloth, wood..I'm interested in all kinds. Let me know if you know of any fairy sources; I'd much appreciate it!!

BEAUTIFULLY DONE!

I love the pictures!!! Faeries are soo cool!...I enjoy all types of stuff like that...Unicorns, Pegasus, Dragons, and such... Sincerly, Lady Grey-anna holds sanctuary in the Labyrinth

I am writing you in regards to finding out whether or not you are familiar with the works of Dr. Jacques Vallee on the connections between fairy-folklore and the current realm of metaphysics and parapsychology. An up and coming field in folklore is the study of the modern day UFO phenomenon in the context of folklore. As far as I know, however, Dr. Vallee is the only individual to compare and contrast the fairy-faith of Europe (as well as other cultures) with today's stories of "alien abductions". I find the correlations between the two a little too similar to be coincidental, and I think this correlation merits much more study from experts in the field of folklore. I was simply curious as to whether or not you are familiar with this topic, as well as any thoughts you may have on it. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Bill Dewan James Madison University

I love your page!!. I am putting a link to it on mine, and will be visitting it as often as I can.

Beautifully done! This was *exactly* suited to my needs. I was in need of faerie information, and I was about to give up on finding any information on the web.. then I found this site. Many thanks to you! :) Keep up the spectacular work!

Im tired of looking at writings. If anybody has a spell or something Plesas send me an E-Mail. I want to travel to the Realm but Im tired of serching for no good info.If your serious contact me.

Earendil's comments: May your quest bring enlightenment as well as knowledge of good grammar and spelling.

OOPS due to adjustment of the cgi script that handled comments, everyone who left a comment in the last 5 days and did not put a home page address, lost their comments! Fixed now. Sorry. Bad programming.

hey! this page is VERY good. i was wondering if i could paste this on my web page? this is the best page i have seen for sooo long!!! congrats and thanks for pasteing suck a praise worthy page on beautiful faeries. melissa ps...just a thought i i didnt know what fairies were and i would want a " visual". :) great job

Just can say that the richnes of the fairies stories archives I found here have helped me out to see and compare my fairies understanding in a wider way. so next time i walk into the woods looking for shrooms i will be aware and realize easier of those fairie hidden sings.

I think it is true, nobody respects the faeries anymore.
I for one throw a bowl of milk and ginger to the faeries everyday
I like your webpage. Keep it up

Great page...
I would like to exchange links.. May I link up with yours?
I just started mine and am getting the kinks out: it is mostly Co-Creative Gardening (gardening with Devas and Nature Spirits aka Fairys), Medicinal and Metaphysical Herbs....

WOW!!!!! What an excellent, interesting page!!!!! I could spend all day here. :) I definitely want to link my page!

Amazing to find you have read so many of the same books! They are so very old and difficult to find. Do you know anything about the "public domain" of this material? I am going to Cornwall in August, following Hunt. Here's off...Here's After

I searched through your dictionary and didn't find anything on Echo, a nymph from Greek Mythology. Wouldn't she be considered a faerie? (I named my daughter Echo Skye)

I like your faeries!!!!

Overall, This page was great! We are doing poetry
in class and this page helped me a lot. The only thing
I cannot find is a haiku. Well, I love this page anyway.

cool page, v.v. impressed. I am doing a dissertation on the story of the fairy and their relations to angels. any comments would be gratefully recieved. Thanks

PS: Sorry about leaving two comments, but I thought of something I just had to say. First of all, your site is superb! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Second of all, I did see a faery at least once. I was about 4 yrs of age. She seemed about five inches tall, humanoid and rainbow-winged, and she flew across the top of the room in an arc, leaving multiple images (trails) behind. She stopped right in front of my face. She resembled my mother, sister, the little girl down the street, Fay Wray, and in general every beloved female entity. Her wings or winglike aura appeared in rainbows. It sent me into a state of bliss and I never forgot it. I also had other visions when I was a kid, including one that involved Tibetan Lamas. At that time (c. 1954) I had never seen or heard of any Lamas. I also involuntarily astral-projected when I was a teenager. All this stopped when I began to actively pursue entheogenic research.

Have you read THE FAIRY FAITH IN CELTIC COUNTRIES by W.Y. Evans-Wentz (editor of the most well-known English version of THE TIBETAN BOOK OF THE DEAD, a manual for liberation after death)? In the early twentieth century he traveled all over Europe, Asia, and America, doing anectdotal research and finding commonality among the beliefs of the Druids, Lamas, and Native Americans. He knew W.B. Yeats and a number of like-minded folks. (by the way, he may have spelled it THE FAERY FAITH IN CELTIC COUNTRIES.) In the meantime:

I highly recommend reading Raymond E. Feist's Faerytale...it's so good for the imagination!

Very nice site. I enjoyed visiting very much.

As a Scot who grew up in the Grampian region..rich in folklore and ancient sites I have always prided myself on being able to spot the difference between the crass comercialism that has sprung up around the fey folk in the past decade from something heartfelt and worthy. Your site is a gem.

Have you ever read "On Fairy-Stories" by J. R. R. Tolkien?
You may want to if you haven't.

splendid, i just wish i cold see a fairy once.- AF ,11

Your art and poems on faeries are both beutiful, and captivating! Just thought you should know how much people enjoy this page. Bye!

I love this page, and all the links! It's wonderful! By any chance...do you think you may be able to find the DATES for the literature and/or poems?

I thought that this was a really helpful page. I needed to look up different fairies and mythical creatures for a class. But, I must say that some pictures would be really useful. Other than that I thought these pages were great!!

Wow!
I was just looking for some information about 'The Dark Cristal', by Jim Henson, and a few minutes later I find myself lost in this great page...

Really excellent!
Bye,

Being a fairy-ophile, I like your page alot. I get the
impression that you-guys believe in the reality of fairies,
and yet in the bibliographies your references are almost all
myth and folklore related(Evan-Wentz being the main
exception. There are some recent books by Machelle Small-
Wright and another about the Elves of Lily Hill that talk
about purported real encounters, etc. Perhaps you want to
stay away from those types of books, but I find them
fascinating and encouraging and feel perhaps others may also.
Thanks! And may the hill rise to meet you, etc.!

I think that this page is great! I like the leaf background
a lot. I am studying Fairy Godmothers. I got my info in the
Fairy Dictionary. On this page you open up fun and cool
things and facts.

I read Little, Big many years ago and found it totally incomprehensible. Perhaps I should try again . . .

thank you so much for this page, it is absolutely wonderful, you have just about all my my favorite poems and ballads, its truly a pleasure to
find a site quite so lovely and complete. THe only thing that i didn't find was Child Roland, but i don't recall exactly if it had to do with the Fae.
anyway, thank you,
oriana

This is a way cool site. It's really informative and a very complete resource. I am curently writing a story about faeries and I'm sure this page will be extremely helpful.

I read the comments and the strange and unusual comments. Very interesting. I suppose us faerie folk are as much a varied and eccentric people and anyone else.

Blessed Be and Love to All

Des'eren! I really love the information and honor thy gives to us all faeries! Much Love and Light to thee! I invite thee into my world! ~Tihr a' Lahn~ ~Dance in Light~

Hi, what beautiful pages, and what a lot on them! It is so nice to find you. When you look up fairytales in the search engines, it is very hard to find fairy tales. It is really disappointing, because more of what you get isn't fit for children. I had a really hard time finding sites which really were fairytales. Thankyou. Come see the Russian fairytales and fables on my site.

I love your page. It has so much information. I have added a link from my homepage to yours. I hope you will visit my page sometime and sign my guestbook.

Your selection of faery poems might be expanded to include one by Rudyard Kipling. It appears at the back of a story entitled "Marklake Witches" in his volume called Rewards and Fairies. The Poem's title is Brookland Road.

Great Site. Awesome graphics. Just found you. I will return many times.
My daughter loves to draw fairies. Any sugestions on good sources of pictures?
Keep up the great work. Thanks.

Your page is a welcome detour into a place where the clock ends
fantasy begins. The little girl that used to be me truly
believed herself a fairy. I read your page with her in mind.
Thank you so much for all the work you've done. Absolutely
beautiful.

Just wanted to say that I love your site so much
(even though I have barely scratched its surface),
that I have included you as the first link on the
"Links" page of my website. Stop by and take a
look if you have an interest. Thanks again!

I enjoyed roaming your enchanted realm. I'm always looking for new places to wander and thought I'd share an avenue to you through Tara with some examples of my work too.

A wonderful thorough site...makes me green eyes twinkle mischieviously...

A true delight to see all the work done here. Keep it up!

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this precious precious page.
This is the most complete site on faeries that I have ever had the pleasure of visiting.
I have always been fasinated with faeries eversince I was small. I have a few books including my most treasured one, FAERIES by Brian Froud and Alan Lee.
I try my best to find books on faeries here in the Philippines but they simply are not available here. I always try to get books on faeries whenever I am in the USA.
Would you know where I can get a copy of Katherine Brigg's Encyclopedia of Fairies, that is if it's still available.

Thank you again so much. I have bookmarked this site already and I will be visiting this site always since I still have a lot to read.

Sincerely,
Tina Mallari

I am just beginning my studies of the Faery Tradition. I was so glad to find your page. Thank you for providing the information.

Great website! I love all the stories.

This is by far the best page concerning faeries that I have ever found! I am taking a class on Celtic Mythology next semester, and your page was an incredible help! I plan on telling my professor about it. It is well-planned, well-organized, and has more information than I have ever seen! As a literature major, I was thrilled to see how many literary links you have. Keep up the excellent work!

Hillo,
I've visited your page a million times, but I never
signed your guest book till now. Of course I love your page.
It's one of the best Faerie pages on the web. I've had you
linked for a year. I hope you'll take the time to visit mine
one day :)

What a fabulous page!!! Very well done!

I remember reading a fairy story about a fairy that helps a woman have a child. This is against all fairy rules and the fairy is punished by the fairy Queen and then rescued by the woman and her husband. In the story, the child gets a rose on her b'day every year, and she has 13 strands of magic blue hair. It's a childrens book. If anyone knows WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, please write me

I love all the literature links on this page. It is excellent.

......peace

Please could you help me. I am trying desperately to trace a picture of a fairy character from my youth for my girlfriend. The character was Victoria Plum and I think she had a number of books/dolls produced of her. I cannot remember the author but I would be most grateful if you could find a picture or even confirm its existence - yours hopefully

This is a great page and full of useful information, but can
anyone help me with a query regarding two books by Ellen
Kushner with similar titles?

Thomas the Rhymer (publ 1990)
and
Thomas the Rhymer: a romance (publ 1991)

seem to have similar titles. One is out of print the other
isn't. Does anyone know what the difference is between the
two of them?

please reply to lucya@achlys.demon.co.uk
