Fairies, as depicted in folklore, are mythical beings with magical powers. They have been described in various cultures and literature as anthropomorphic creatures that embody the spirit of nature and the supernatural. The concept of fairies has evolved over time, from the ancient lore of Celtic and Germanic traditions to the romanticized versions in Victorian literature. These enchanting beings are often portrayed as protectors of nature, sometimes mischievous, but always bound to the mystical elements of the world they inhabit.
