Fairy Land : Fairy land? FAIRY land?? Fairy LAND??? You’ve got to be kidding me! We’ve already defined Fey, Fae, Faery, Fairy, and Tuatha Dé Danaan… can’t you extrapolate from there???

Ahhh… one too many Pan-Galactic Gargleblasters, eh? That explains it.

Well, ok… we’ll give just one more try to explain it to you.

Fairy Land :

ummm… was that Tooth Fairy Land or just regular old Fairy Land?

Right.

Tooth Fairy Land : An ancient mythological world from which and to which the Tooth Fairies come and go in their nightly visits to the late great planet Earth, boldly sneaking into young children’s bedrooms and removing the rotten, fallen out teeth from beneath their pillows, where they were left in hopes of receiving some favor or prize. Typically, Tooth Fairies left a coin, or a dollar or two. The Tooth Fairies never leave candy.

Fairy Land : A mythical, aetherical world where the Fey/Fay/Fae have their homes. Descriptions of Fairy Land differ according to variations in cultural mythos.

A quick search on the Internet will reveal a plethora of websites devoted to Fairies and Fairy Land, though these beings are often depicted as tiny, dragon-winged creatures of a happy disposition, this is not necessarily the whole truth. In-depth research into the Fae and Fairy Land will reveal their seedier side, that of the trickster, and even some that are very mean-spirited.
