Παιδιά κάτι ενδιαφέρον που βρήκα τώρα, είναι από την εισαγωγή ενός βιβλίου του Froud που λέγετι ''Καλές/Κακές Νεράιδες'' (Απλά μαμάτο!!)
''Humans have long maintained close daily connections with the faeries. In centuries past, we've acknowledged them by many traditional names: boggarts, bogles, bocans, bugganes, brownies, blue-caps, banshees, miffies, nippers, nickers, knockers, noggles, lobs, hobs, scrags, ouphs, spunks, spurns, hodge-pochers, moon dancers, puckles, thrumpins, mawkins, gally-trots, Melsh Dicks, and myriad others. Just as they have many different names, they appear to us in many different guises. They are shape shifters, highly mutable, for no faery or nature spirit has a fixed body. In their essence, faeries are abstract structures of flowing energy, formed of an astral matter that is so sensitive as to be influenced by emotion and thought. In their most primal form, we perceive them simply as pulsing forces of radiant light, with a glowing center located in the region of the head or heart. (In the more highly evolved faeries, the head and the eyes are more strongly defined.) Responding both to mythic patterns and to human thoughts, these abstract forces delight in coalescing into wings and flowing drapery, taking on shapes that reflect the human, animal, plant, and mineral worlds.''
