fairyland
Fairyland, in folklore, is the fabulous land or abode of fairies or ''fays''.
==Folklore==
Fairyland may be referred to simply as "Fairy" or "Faërie," though that usage is an archaism. It is often the land ruled by the "Queen of Fairy," and thus anything from fairyland is also sometimes described as being from the "Court of the Queen of " or from Seelie court in Scottish folklore.
The Scots word ''elfame'' or ' "fairyland"〔DOST ('' Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue''); (【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dsl.ac.uk/index.html )〕 has other variant forms, attested in Scottish witch trials, but ''Elf-hame'' or ''Elphame'' with the -''hame'' stem (meaning "home" in Scots) were conjectural readings by Pitcairn.
