What sort of fairies are you looking for to inhabit this land? If these are sweet and graceful flower fairies, I don't think I could qualify. But if these are good old-fashioned fairies like Puck (of Pook's Hill), let me introduce Puckoon Wartspickle, an old, brown and puckish fairy with an ear for mischief with words, and other mischief as well. There's no pun so bad that he can't make one worse. He has a habit of dropping rhyming couplets into the conversation, which sound wise, and sometimes are. He'll also drop the occasional non-rhyming singlet (well, single line, anyway), leaving you with the feeling that if you could work out the second line, you'd know something worth knowing.
