Features

30 The Fairy Investigation Society (Cover Story)
The Fairy Investigation Society, dedicated to tracking down modern accounts of the Little People, must rank as one of the strangest British organisations ever. Simon Young tells the story of this curious enterprise, through five key episodes in its eccentric and largely forgotten history.

38 Seeing Fairies
Marjorie T Johnson spent years collecting accounts of fairy sightings and the fruits of her labour finally saw print this year in the most comprehensive collection of modern fairy encounters ever assembled. Here we present a small selection of the riches contained within its pages...

46 The Music of Fairyland
The Little People have long been associated with music. Composers, artists, writers and observers of the natural world have all reported unearthly strains hovering in the air, and some have even attempted to write them down. Chris Woodyard keeps her ears open and listens for the lovely and mysterious sounds of Fairyland.
