The Indian Stories - A Syrup of the Bees translated by F.W. Bain. Vol. XI. In India, the demons, i.e. the fairy tales and fables, have never had to hide. But the fairy tales of India differ from the fairy tales of England, much as their fairies do themselves. The fairies of Europe are children, little people and it is to children that the fairy stories are address. However, in India it is otherwise, the fairy stories are addressed to the grown up, and the fairies resemble their audience, they are grown up too. They form an intermediate, irresponsible class of beings, halfway between mortals and the gods. These are a serious thing; they have their work to do, unlike fairies that exist for the sake of existence. They have three characteristics: they are the possessors of science, i.e. magic; They can change their shape at will; and their element is air, they live in the air - sky-goers, sky-roamers, air-wanderers.
