Fairy
Posters

Fairies
are diminutive supernatural creatures that have human characteristics and
generally possess supernatural powers. In stories, popularly known as fairy
tales, fairies intervene in human affairs by the use of their magical powers.
According to these tales, there are good and bad fairies though good fairies
abound and always seem to win.
Belief
in fairies extends to practically every folk culture in the world. In most of
these cultures, fairies tend to live in far away lands and are able to travel to
visit mortals in the shortest time imaginable. Fairies also generally help
people who are in need and comfort those who are in distress.

As
seen from the fairy posters above, fairies generally assume human forms. They
often have butterfly-like wings attached to their backs. This is what helps them
fly. There is a wide range of fairy sizes. Some are as small as the palm of a
human hand while others are larger than humans.
From
the fairy posters, you can also see that fairies are also often associated with
nature. They are often shown in gardens, close to rives, flowers, in forests or
in the clouds. This is meant to demonstrate the unity of fairies and nature.
Fairy
tales are nice stories to introduce to children. They are stories with very nice
morals in which good always overcomes evil. They also keep the mind of children
engrossed in such beautiful creatures, helping to bring out their creativity.
