Between traditional folklore and modern biology, the wild forest floor and the sterile scientific laboratory, lies the story of the lilliputian mushroom.
In the USA at least, the term “fairy” has long been used by some as derogatory slang for highly feminine-acting homosexual males (although I’ve seen the occasional use by such people themselves, which I assume is a bit like black people calling each other the “N-word” - I support both groups, but am a part of neither so I could be wrong in my interpretation on that aspect).
Considering virtually every group that aren’t proud white “Christians” (a misnomer if ever there was one) are under extreme attack by the current US administration, I was implying a book about “fairies” might conceivably be about gay people and therefore “illegal” with all the book banning that has unfortunately been going on here.

Thx for the clarification, very much appreciated.
