Faery Dreams… and, Dreaming of Faery
“Picture yourself, for instance curled up all cozy in your blankets in the bole or the roots of a fairy tree. Or lying in a gently rocking boat sailing to Tir Nan Og. Or lazily sipping elf-wine by a warm fire. Or lying out in a meadow with the stars wheeling overhead and the fairies all around.”
– Dolores J. Nurss, Faery Dreaming
