THE TIDDLEWINK FAIRY

Fairies have always been a fascination that lures people into their imaginations and the fantasy world, as much as space aliens. Painting and sketches of figures with wings that seemed to be attached to their shoulders were depicted on cave walls, dating back to the Mesolithic time.

There are many different descriptions of these mythical creatures. While Enid Blyton describes fairies as small adorable people with shimmering butterfly-like wings, others, such as the book "Artemis Fowl" portray these beings as dangerous and extraordinarily strong resemblance to humans. However,a majority of the sources agree on the description of tiny winged creatures with pointy ears.

Perhaps one of the most mysterious member of this species is the Tiddlewink fairy. Unseen by anyone yet, the fairy will often leave a letter with small, slanting writing and a small token to acknowledge its presence. Reports of letters and gifts from Tiddlewink have been collected from all over the world, particularly Australia. It is believed that the Christmas icon Santa Claus could have originated from the fairy. Speculations have also been made about the connection between the game Tiddlywinks and this fairy that remains an inexplicable mystery to this day.
