Clap if you believe in fairies


I remember I used to half believe and wholly play with fairies when I was a child. What heaven can be more real than to retain the spirit world of childhood, tempered and balanced by knowledge and common sense. --Beatrix Potter
"You see, Wendy, when the first baby laughed for the very first time, the laugh broke up into a thousand pieces of light, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. So now every time a new baby is born, its first laugh becomes a fairy." --J.M. Barrie (Peter Pan)

I love English Literature from the turn of the century. Fairies, children, fantasy, moral lessons, imagination are some of the reasons I'm drawn to it.
