And I guess I'm getting pretty suspicious of anything from TORN in my old age. Yours sounds kinder and more generous.
Tolkien disliked Shakespeare's fairies and had a kind of grudge against Celtic/Arthurian legends, so that's what made me suspicious. But you are right that it is preferable to take a cue from them rather than from Disney.
By the way, I really enjoy
Smith of Wootton Major. It think I like it's fairie more than the aspects of it in LotR.
Tea?
