Among the superstitions of bygone times which still linger in the British countryside, the ideas regarding pixies are the most interesting and romantic. It is to Dartmoor one must go to hear fully of the fantastic tricks and antics of the fairy and fairy-ike creatures. Sometimes these merry little elves have been seen dancing in a circle on the sides of the hills, as a peasant has made his way homeward after night-fall; but as such sights have generally been witnessed when the beholder has been returning from a merry-making, a sheep-shearing feast, perhaps, or a Christmas revel. By their presence, pixies bring blessings to those who are fond of them.
