A domestic #fairy is a helpful, good-natured rogue. Only revengeful if irritated, this elf a step lower than other fairies. They live with mortals. & desire our food, clothing, & a bowl of cream in the same spot every night, or else they get angry. 🧚♀️ #FairyTaleTuesday
Fairies and their imaginative vehicles... #Victorian fairy paintings by Amelia Jane Murray (1800-1896) who was born on the Isle of Man in 'Port-e-Chee', which means ‘fairy music’ in Manx Gaelic. The local #folklore inspired her work.
