Where Do Fairies Origin From?

Fairies are legendary creatures that only exist on folklore and mythology. In ancient times before the world had been thoroughly explored by humans people lived in isolated patches around the world. However, it was widely believed by people that mystical creatures existed parallel to human localities that were mischievous in nature and had a terrible beauty to behold. There have been variations of this legend in different cultures. In west however fairies or pixies as they were commonly called were believed to have existed around the peripheries of everyday reality and were said to have glowed in the dark. Even Shakespeare wrote about them in his plays, namely the Midnight Summer's Dream and The Tempest.
