To arrange your life, home, and especially garden in order to make the Folk welcome is to invite happiness, luck, and love.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are as many theories about the origins and identities of Fairy Folk as there are people who believe in them. They are known variously as \"the Good People,\" \"the Little People,\" \"the Good Neighbors,\" \"the Gentry,\" and \"the People of Peace.\" The Folk are made of memory, imagination, tradition, and desire. They exist wherever people are -- they are ever present, like air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTo Live with the Fairy Folk\u003c\/i\u003e teaches the etiquette favored by the Folks. Respect for privacy, generosity, neatness, fairness, and romance are essential. Then there's the matter of where the Folk like to live -- what trees to plant and how to best care for them, tips about lighting (inside and outside), and instructions for using water, shade, sunshine, and fragrances to make a Folkfriendly habitat. Stern concludes the book with magical garden designs you can easily duplicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marina T.
