This index is for works that focus on [[OurFairiesAreDifferent fairies, pixies, and sprites]]. A work just having a fairy does not qualify. The fairy must be one of the main characters, the main threat, or otherwise central to the plot. Such works will invariably include one or more FairyTropes. Works that feature the LandOfFaerie as a significant part of the setting also qualify.
