‘Another one’s appeared, on the oak tree, pathetic and disrespectful, cultural appropriation or is it misappropriation?’
‘Just ignore them Oberon.’
‘I’m going to take my axe to it this time.’
‘Don’t be so ridiculous, they aren’t causing any harm to us, not compared with all the other stuff they do.’
‘What if one of our folk thought it was a real door!’
‘Daddy, why have you got an axe?’
‘Your father’s getting overwrought over the giants again. If you’re not careful Oberon they’re going to see you and then where will we be, doesn’t bear thinking.’
‘Mummy, you said the giants wouldn’t hurt us.’
‘They won’t as long as they don’t believe we exist. Anyway, it’s time you were getting ready for school, have you brushed your wings?’


Can I recommend some music for the faerie folk? Here’s a taster for an album due for release on Friday: https://criesforcolour.bandcamp.com/album/yellow-sands-or-eight-tales-of-pixie-mischief

Yes I think if the faerie folk played that to the ‘giants’ they would get a surprise!

But it would be quite difficult for them to be unaware of us!

Yes it certainly would Pete, the amount of gardening I do I’m pretty sure I haven’t got any!

Coincidence – I even used the names Oberon and Titania in the story I wrote about fairies at the bottom of the garden all those years ago. I never thought about them brushing their wings before getting ready for school though. Love it. 😀

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, Oberon is obviously a popular family name passed down through many generations!
