The author suggests that in folklore and older stories, the defining quality of things being fae or fairy-related is that they are liminal. They are associated with times, places, situations, or appearances that are in a “between” state, simultaneously familiar or known and weird or unknown. Like: places where the woods meet fields, abandoned places humans inhabited or used, vacant crossroads, twilight, half waking states, autumn (neither fully winter or fully summer), etc.
