A Charm Against Fairies

EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and enchanting illustration by M. Reed, published in 1911. The captivating image portrays a mother tenderly cradling her baby as she dozes off in a cozy room. Unbeknownst to her, a group of mischievous fairies hover above, ready to pounce. One fairy reaches out to swap the sleeping infant with a wizened changeling of their own race. The mother's peaceful slumber is shattered by this alarming scene, a common fear among new parents during the early 1900s. Fortunately, the illustration is accompanied by a poem that offers a solution to prevent such an unfortunate occurrence. The verses below advise parents to bless their child before bedtime, ensuring their safety from the magical interference of fairies. The poem reads: "Bless this child, O Lord, this night, In Thy tender care enfold, Keep the fairy folk at bay, Till the morning breaks, the new day. In Thy name, O Lord, I pray, Guardian angels watch him stay, Through the night, through the long, long night, Keep him safe from harm, from fright." The image and poem tap into the rich folklore and mythology surrounding fairies and their interactions with human children. The fear of fairy kidnappings and the belief in the power of protective charms and prayers were prevalent during this time, adding an element of fantasy and wonder to everyday life. This illustration and poem serve as a reminder of the dreams, nightmares, and myths that shaped the collective imagination of the early 20th century.
