New Peebleshire Myth of the Week: The Slumber Fairy
The Slumber Fairy, anxiously awaiting the coming of twilight.
The Slumber Fairy, one of New Peebleshire's oldest and most favored myths, is the tiniest of all the fairies. Whilst her dainty appearance and whimsical nature appeal to the children of the village, her value among the elder members of New Peebleshire cannot be overstated.
The Slumber Fairy appears, approriately, whilst one sleeps. Unlike the more commonly known fairies, she carries no pixie dust or magic wand. Instead, the Slumber Fairy brings with her a sumptuous banquet of English delights. Any citizen earning their fair share of scrupleberries will likely awaken to a table of salted meats, fig jellies, warm peppered gravy, and fermented cider.
Whilst the fairy herself has never been seen, she remains the subject of much literature and bedtime storytelling. Letters written to her by local children are often left 'neath the willow tree that sits in the middle of Gillowsbry Forest, where the Slumber Fairy is thought to reside.

It is always the day's delight to carelessly stumble upon the latest edition of The Towne Crier hot off the press. Keep up the good work, fellas!
Let me let you in on a little secret of mine...I AM THE SLUMBER FAIRY!!!! MWWAHAHAHAHA!
No offense, Claire, but the Slumber Fairy would never laugh in such a devlish manner. You obviously haven't taken into account how dainty she really is.
Given her frailty, it really is a wonder she is able to carry around all of her sumptuous delights. It has been speculated that she totes around a large burlap sack with her, but most scholars have dismissed that theory due to lack of evidence.
no, claire, you are the foliage fairy, remember??
ah, well, can't fool them all. Foliage, indeed. i could never surrender depositing leaves, dirt and stick fragments in people's beds as they sleep for the sake of daintyness and a burlap sack.
you got me.
