  1. Fairy Forts
    2-11-38
    Forts are very common in every part of Bodal. In Neigham there is a large fort but there is no fairies in it only broken cups, saucers & plates.
    There is another fort in Bramblestown not far from the other. One day a friend of mine was passing by, & she saw a small little man coming out of it with a dog as big as himself carrying a bone in its mouth.
