William Shakespeare Was Tinkerbell’s Dad
 
The Origins of the Modern Faerie
 
William Shakespeare Was Tinkerbell’s Dad. Ok, not really. But did you know that Shakespeare had a major influence on how we think of faeries today? Ask any six-year-old to describe a faerie and they can do it without thinking twice. Faeries are tiny. Faeries are friendly. Faeries have wings. But it turns out that before Shakespeare, people imagined faeries as downright wicked creatures. Shakespeare’s plays changed the way the world would think of faeries forever.
