About this episode
In the early modern period, belief in fairies was quite commonplace. But put all thoughts of Tinkerbell aside! These fairies were altogether more dangerous beings - troublemakers, child-snatchers, seducers and changelings.
In this episode of Not Just the Tudors, Prof. Suzannah Lipscomb finds out more from Prof. Diane Purkiss, author of Troublesome Things: A History of Fairies and Fairy Stories.
This episode was edited by Ella Blaxill and produced by Rob Weinberg.
