The young girls talk in hushed tones about a young boy in town rumored to be a changeling. Strange Peregrine Oakshott knows there is something different about him, but can do nothing but helplessly pray to the fairy beings for their return. Excerpt: "Anne drew a long sigh and asked whether the real boy in fairyland would never come back. "There's no telling, missie dear. Some say they are bound there forever and a day, some that they as hold 'em are bound to bring them back for a night once in seven years, and in the old times if they were sprinkled with holy water, and crossed, they would stay, but there's no such thing as holy water now, save among the Papists, and if one knew the way to cross oneself, it would be as much as one's life was worth."

" Whether called "the good people," "the little people," or simply "them," fairies are familiar from their appearances in Shakespeare's plays, Disney's films, and points in between. In many cultures, however, fairies are not just the stuff of distant legend or literature: they are real creatures with supernatural powers. The Good People presents nineteen essays that focus on the actual fairies of folklore -- fairies of past and living traditions who affected, and still affect, people's lives in myriad ways.
