Welcome in Dear Guest!  We know many of you have been waiting for another visit to this beloved topic for quite some time, so tonight, we have a spritely telling of Fairies in Art!  These enchanting creatures live in the hearts and minds of people all over the globe, and thanks to some magically gifted artists, now everyone can see them!... not just us.  Your ethereal host will describe for you, 2 paintings, Midsummer Eve, by Edward Robert Hughes, and Spirit of the Night, by John Atkinson Grimshaw.  And, several fabulous fairy beings in the astoundingly popular book, Faeries, by Brian Froud and Alan Lee.  Now, find your favorite seat... and we'll all have a nice break from boring reality!
