Abstract Newfoundland is rife with stories of fairies who mislead, play tricks, or sometimes, spirit folks away. A rustle of a leaf, a glint at the corner of one's eye - these fairies lurk, menacint and amoral, at the edges of settled life. The pages of Spirited Away are populated by people who wander onto fairy paths or fall under the spell of mysterious music, who find themselves lost in surroundings long familiar, or find family members grown strange - people irrevocably changed by their eerie encounters.
Genre/formFolk tales.
