Fairies favor children and handsome young men and women, especially those with blond hair. William Butler Yeats, Ireland’s most famous poet, believed in fairies. This is from a poem he wrote about a fairy trying to entice a young child: “Come away with me O human child; To the waters and the wild. With a fairy hand in hand, For the worlds more full of weeping than you can understand.”
