Humankind, we have declared war. For years, the fairyfolk, pixies, sprite, fay (they don’t really care what you call them at the end of the day) have lived quietly alongside us. They have watched us ruin their home through pollution, consumerism, aggression and technologism. But they’ve had enough. The stories you heard as children did not lie, fairies are real, but maybe a bit different to how you expected… Written in spoken word poetry, Mischief and Mayhem is a cry for help from the creatures we share our world with, and an order, to get off your asses and do something about it.
