Fairy People

Here is a list and some descriptions of faeries.

Since there are many types of faeries, there will only be articles on faeries that have a parallel to, or have antecedents from, the mythical beings of the Celtic mythology. So there won't be many faeries that are found in this page that appear in later folklore (e.g. pixies). I will also concentrate mainly on the Celtic regions (eg. Britain, Ireland and Brittany), ignoring Germanic and Slavic faeries.
