Fairyland
Where sprites dwell
Fairyland is an imaginary realm where fairies and other magical creatures dwell, typically depicted in folklore and children's stories as a place of enchantment, wonder, and otherworldly beauty.
By extension, any place of exceptional charm or dreamlike quality may be called a fairyland: The garden at night, lit by thousands of tiny lights, was a fairyland.
The term often carries connotations of unreality or escapism, suggesting a place too perfect to exist.
