Claire loves the fairies.

She has been building little houses for them, grinding up and refrigerating food for them, and even making a park and pond for them in the backyard.  She really believes in fairies.  Or she may have a rational clue they are not strictly speaking “real”, but that is a secondary concern because fairies are just so magical and sweet.

Claire checked out a “non fiction” book about fairies from the school library.  It tells all about the lives of “faeries”, as the book calls them, and Faeland, where they live.  It is all quite convincing and cute, and it is fun to pretend along with Claire (even though she knows that I know fairies aren’t exactly real.)
