Up the airy mountain
Down the rushy glen,
We daren't go a-hunting,
For fear of little men...

Hidden outside the realms of the civilized, strange creatures of oak and yew dance beneath the pale moon's gaze. They are the fair folk and the little people whose haunts are not of man and his ilk. Wild and perilous, beautiful and eerie, these are the traits to spot a child of Faerie. Leave out a bowl of milk, whistle a tune and turn out your cloak, or venture, if you dare, to the sylvan glades and maybe you will return to tell their tale.
