Fairies and elves come to life where they are spoken of. Why did Conan Doyle believe in fairies, what do Bogda and Tir-na-nog hide - answers to these questions await curious guests of the lecture. Fairies and elves are characters that myths, literature, and human imagination have encountered for centuries. These small creatures, cunning and kind, tiny and giant, inhabit the intersection of the real and the fictional. Why did people in different corners of Europe believe that fairies could steal babies? How can one enter the mysterious land of Tir-na-nog? Why was Conan Doyle, the author of the Sherlock Holmes stories, convinced of the existence of fairies and proved it to the world? The lecture by Liza March, author of the blog "Gloomy Literary Studies," will open a world where every legend is filled with meaning. Listeners will learn which folklore images turned into literary plots, where famous tales originated, and what secrets the forests and hills of Europe hold.
