That "fairy" in the Hobbit might mean elf is further evidenced by Tolkien's use of the word fairy as a synonym for elf throughout his early writings of the mythos

"Faerie" is also the word used by Bilbo in the Hobbit to describe the Western Land where the Elves go to, ie Valinor.

The Hobbit isn't canon. It is stuff that Bilbo made up to make things sound more interesting.

I prefer to think of it as canon with Bilbo's "spin". [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
