Description "Birch (Betula alba) is a tree with many associations with the fairy folk. In south-west England, a female fairy called the One with the White Hand flickers from birch copses in Somerset, pale and gaunt as the trees, to ambush young men ..."

Looks a tiny little bit like my native Isernhagen, you know. One might get really lost there I suppose. I think it is very mean of the One with the White Hand to ambush folks. Still, at least she only bushwacks young men, who have swords or bows and can defend themselves. BUSHwacking! Ha-ha! I made a funny!!
