Fairies are a type of fairy, or sprite. They are small, magical beings who live in the forest and can be found anywhere there is magic.
Some fairies are mischievous, while others are helpful and friendly. In some stories, fairies are said to be able to grant wishes, but this is not always true. Fairy tales were originally told by adults to children so that they would learn about life and death.
