‘I was in my brother’s bedroom and my mum had briefly left the room. The little man came up from the floor. He was angry and I wanted him to go away. He looked old and wizened.’ ‘Like a gnome. I think he was dressed in brown and green. His face was reddish.’ ‘He looked like a gnome and was so small’. ‘I have never forgotten this experience and wish I could remember what he said to me.’ Fairies are ‘nature spirits’.
