They hold their great balls in the open air,in what is called a fairy-ring.
For weeks afterward you can see the ring on the grass.It is not there when they begin,but they make it by waltzing round and round.Sometimes you will find mushrooms inside the ring,and these are fairy chairs that the servant, have forgotten to clear away.The chairs and the rings are the only tell-tale marksthese little people leave behind them,and they would remove even thesewere they not so fond of dancingthat they toe it till the very momentof the opening of the gates."
James Matthew Barrie
Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens
