The Yellow Fairy Book by Andrew Lang, Fiction, Fairy Tales, Folk Tales, Legends & Mythology
As to whether there are really any fairies or not, that is a difficult question. Professor Huxley thinks there are none. The Editor never saw any himself, but he knows several people who have seen them--in the Highlands--and heard their music. If ever you are in Nether Lochaber, go to the Fairy Hill, and you may hear the music yourself, as grown-up people have done, but you must go on a fine day. Again, if there are really no fairies, why do people believe in them, all over the world? The ancient Greeks believed, so did the old Egyptians, and the Hindus, and the Red Indians, and is it likely, if there are no fairies, that so many different peoples would have seen and heard them. . . ? -- From Andrew Lang's Preface to this volume.
