Fairies are practical jokers apparently, they're the George Clooney's of the ethereal world. At some point soon enough i'll have to start deciding how many people know about them in the village, and if so, how many are afraid of them and what strange measures do they take to safeguard themselves. Maybe decide is the wrong word, perhaps discover is better.
The whole section on the wikipedia page about literature and legends is full of interesting details;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy#Fairies_in_literature_and_legend
Including this little historical oddity;
“The prototype of food, and therefore a symbol of life, bread was one of the commonest protections against fairies. Before going out into a fairy-haunted place, it was customary to put a piece of dry bread in one’s pocket.”[44]
