Just came across a note I made ages ago from Roger Lovegrove's book 'Silent Fields'. It's mostly a depressing history of the killing of British animals as 'vermin', but while examining the parish accounts of St Teath, Cornwall from 1812, he came across a bounty paid 'To 2 Fairy's Heads 4d'! 🧚

Some of the gorgeous illustrations by Constance Herasimenka for 'The Faery Rules: Forgotten Folklore for Living in Harmony with the Fae'.
They're absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be happier!
