You say 'Faeries' & I say 'Fairies' - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It is interesting to contemplate. There are more than one dimension to this. Traditional view is touched upon when physicality is considered. But, back then, there were definate Boundries, both real and percieved to the world. The boundries to Fairie wouldnt be any different. There was a very "real" end to the (flat) earth. There was a very real border between the forest and the Forest.

The other side is more spritual, aesthetic and very personal. Intentionally or not, the author touched upon this as much as the maps of ME did - and thankfully. I would say that definately added to the universal appeal to the works.

So, the question is: Is your Faerie the same as mine?
