List of Places where the action takes place or that are mentioned in these tales: There are three worlds in which these tales mostly happen. One is The World of the Spirit. Fairies, ghosts, characters in literature and all sorts of other spirits move quite freely about this world, which is about many smaller worlds, such as the worlds of the fay and the worlds of the dead, heavens and hells also belonging to this world. The Mortal World is the second of the main worlds, and it is where what mortals call reality occurs and though the fay can enter it, they are forewarned and apprised to do so unseen. The world of literature and other arts can work much of its magic in the mortal world. And the third of these main worlds is The Betweenworlds, almost always a borderland, sometimes an overlapping or a clash of the first and second  worlds, where anything can happen, and what can happen is not always bad, but not always good.  

The World of the Spirit holds:

In the World of the Fay:

Apple Island: This island is a paradise for fairies of good will who feel at peace enough to enjoy their existence. In it are the ideal homes of these fairies, all specially built taking into account the needs and desires of their owners. Among these homes are:

The AEternal Mansion,  also called The Divine Mansion, where Arley’s maternal grandparents AEternus and Divina live. The building is more comfortable than spectacular, but its gardens or park are splendorous even for Apple Island. Though along with the splendour there was, for a time, poison in the grass.

Bent Hill or Bent Couple Hill a steep northern hill where the Bent Couple has a lopsided farm.

Castle Attor is the stunning home of Attor Fitz Oberon and Titania and his wife Cathsheba and their children, The Atshebies. On the outside it is regally mediaeval, but inside it lacks no comfort.

Castle Excelsius, also called The Celestial Castle, is the home of Excelsius and Celestial Up North.

Curmudgeon Mansion, is Curmudgeon Finn’s palatial home next to Apple Island’s royal  library.

The Di Limbo Home, also Nimbus House, home of Gelsemine and Knickknack Nimbo di Limbo, was first in the mortal world and later transported to Apple Island. It was protected from pryers by a Don’t Notice Me spell.

Don Alonso’s Stone Cave in Apple Island, a place where he sometimes retires to meditate, was gifted to him by the Nine Queens.

Evenfall Hall, see The Ruins Nearly West.

Gentle Manor is Gentlerain and Mabel’s ideal house and magic garden. This last has four landmarks, one in each of the four directions, beyond which the garden extends into infinity.The house is on a promontory by the sea. It is a very peaceful place but the neighbours are dubious beings who might shatter the peace of Apple Island at any minute. Living next to them is Gentlerain’s way of controlling these people.

Heather's Home, as pretty as she is, has a forestlike garden full of good little animals and where Mr. Binky rests in a glass coffin, though he isn't dead, only sleeping off the Shyboy Oil he accidentally swallowed.

Memory Manor is Belvedere the Mnemosinite’s home.

Michael’s ideal home is a copy of a Tudor home, possibly that belonging to Mary Arden.

Moth’s Moon Palace (Moth’s ideal home in Apple Island)

Murkee Mound is a small mound next to the Pestles’ hut.  A an old murkee named Terence dwells below it.

Pearly Home is Brightfire and Pearl’s pearly home.

The Pestles’ Hut and Herbshop is right next to Gentle Manor. Very old cures and remedies are prescribed and sold there and if one wants something less innocent, it is Chickenbroth that can be spoken with.

Prickly Field is a field full of nettles and thistles where a tribe of Prickly Kids camp, they being conviced that this is the ideal home and way of life. If it weren’t for Evenfall’s unobstrusive aid, these kids, deaf to good advice,  would be worst off than they are, just like the deaf cats Evenfall also looks after. 

The Royal Palace of Apple Island is Titania and Oberon’s magnificent home. As well as the Royal Couple, and those of their children who, whether under seven or over three hundred enjoy living there, its many floors splendidly house the people who work there to make the place beautiful. Thymian and Devin occupy a whole floor each, Arley keeps the rooms that were his when little and Cespuglio lives in the main greenhouse when he isn’t in one or another of the gardens of Apple Island pretending to be a bush.

Richearth Plantation is Demetius Estraricus Richearth’s fantastic plantation. Richi works the myriad unending fields himself, strolling and singing all over them, and growing incredibly healthy and tasty fruit and vegetables,  but when it is harvestime, the representatives of the island´s farmers' markets show up with their teams of pickers and gather  the crops that they will give out for free to anyone who comes for them, since all rawvegetarian  food is free in Apple Island, as is water and are fruit juices, including the juice of the grape, though this last must be consumed with a garland of ivy on one's head. Bread and cakes made with flour from cereals Richi has grown are also given out free of charge, though baked. And one can also eat de la brioche without paying, on the advice of Marie Antoinette, for Richi doesn't want to have his head cut off. One thing Richi doesn't much like to do is prune, and his plantation is sometimes as frondose as any jungle. But people interested in learning gardening from the best often come to his plantation and he allows them to prune the plants there because his neighbours are always warning him that one day a lion or a boa constrictor will spring out of the green and eat him. This is not likely to happen, but Richi lets the volunteers do and rewards them with very special gifts, aside from offering them breakfast, lunch and teatime treats and, if they chose to work by moonlight, dinner and a midnight snack. None of them leave the plantation without having been loaded with magic seeds and rare cuttings.    

The Ruins Nearly West were once Evenfall Hall, the ideal home of Titania’s most eccentric and kind brother. Burnt down accidentally by the young Brightfire, the hall’s ruins are now inhabitted by deaf cats. Passing through a still standing arch, one enters the ghost of this house, which is exactly like the original and in which wistful Uncle Evenfall prefers to dwell rather than rebuild.

Seven Fairies Street is the street in Apple Island where the Seven Fairies live, each in her own distinctive ideal home, save Jocosa. Lucerna's house is distinguished by its beautiful coloured lights, Fronda's is hidden and protected by enormous trees, one cannot pass by Alondrá's house without hearing music from a harp or the chirping of birds, Laetitia's place is a sweet, friendly-looking cottage for she delights in the little things of life, Caléndula lives in a house that looks like a museum of modern art, its gardens spotted with modern sculptures surrounded by beds of marigolds and Nebula's home is cloaked in a nebulosae of fairy dust. The garage of Nebula's house has an apartment over it where Jocosa stays when she comes to visit the island. Though she was never formally expelled from Apple Island, Jocosa had to transfer her own ideal home to another part of the fairy world because the Apple Islanders were tired of her lack of consideration for their feelings and let her know this. 

Thistle's home is very modern and a little zen, specially her garden. She lives right next to her sister Thistle. 

Thymian’s Lair, occupying almost all the fourth basement of Oberon and Titania’s palace, is the closest thing to Thymian’s ideal home. It holds his laboratory and his museum and is all about Egypt.

Wild House, the bleak house with light within of the Wildgale family, is located  in the moors of Apple Island.

Also in Apple Island are:

The Auditorium of Apple Island, which offers wonderful concerts and shows, also holds a theatre for plays that shouldn’t be performed outdoors.

Endeavour, a river in Apple Island. It flows mostly along the river Sage. Where they almost converge is Malrose Ait.

The Fairy Rings of Apple Island are four. There is one for each direction, and they are frequented by fairies with different interests. The First Fairy Ring is frequented by artists and intellectuals, the Second Fairy Ring by people who love to dance, the Third Fairy Ring by people who like to work but are on holiday  and is more like a carnaval and has its own circus, the Fourth Fairy Ring is a place for people who seek commitment, as in ever after romance or  marriages of serious convenience. 

The Football Stadiums of Apple Island are two. One was built by Divina for her sons to put a stop to the War of the Garden Gnome or Botolph’s War but ended up being ceded to the Ye Fay F.C. when it failed to achieve this purpose and is this team’s official stadium. The other stadium belongs to the Sidhe Band F.C., the other famous Fay team. 

Golf Courses there are at least two of. Grandfather AEternus owns a club with a spectacular golf course cared for by Mr. Vertumnus Green that has a bar and restaurant ran by two Lares, Rhubarbarum and Marrubium. The Moon Gate Golf Course  is the Memorion’s  golf course and is  right next to Memory Manor.

The Greenhouses of the Nine Queens are where some of the best apples in Apple Island are grown. The ladies that cultivate these apples count with the help of Richearth, who is a much petted honorary member of their horticultural club. Another apple grower, Malrose, is, however,  considered a rival.

Jenny Thrush Farm produces the best raspberries in Apple Island and was kindly ceded by Richearth to his kidnappers Elucubrius and Bunglemore, though he had to buy it secretly back from them because they had no taste for working on it and everyone was missing the raspberries.

Library of Apple Island, more exactly The Royal Library of Patient St. Job in Apple Island, was founded by Sir Job Hobb and its friendly librarían is Mildew Finn. As befits a library, it is full of books, all wondrous. Among its treasures are the ghosts of books from the Library of Alexandria.

Malrose Ait is an island where the rivers Sage and Endeavour meet before again parting and where Titania and Oberon’s seventh son, Malrose, a crab apple sprite, grows fabulous fruit. It is an island within an island.

Moonlight Market (see Midnight Market)

The Museum of Treasures of Apple Island was founded by Caléndula.

Peek Creek is a tiny subterranean creek in the garden of Heather's ideal home. To get to it you have to enter through a minuscule door in a mushroom that grows on the stump of a tree. Water from this creek makes it possible for a true lover to read his true love's mind as clearly as if they were the same person. But love between them has to be mutual for this to happen. 

The Purple Fountain is a fountain of wondrous purple water of mysterious properties owned by AEternus and guarded by Aveline and Olive. A third guard, Laurel, almost always invisible, always accompanies AEternus.

Sage River is a river in Apple Island and flows next to the river Endeavour on most of its way, but there is a spot where these rivers join and in the middle of it is Malrose Ait.

Minced Forest: All of this forest, wood of woods, is in the world of the fay, but parts of it are also in the Betweenworlds.

Alpin’s ideal home, a palace that can expand from the size of a dollhouse to become as large as the Monastery of El Escorial, which served as its model, has been deposited in the garden of his parents’ home, where it waits to be carried off to the mortal world that day it is allowed to grow.

The Apotheca of  Henbeddestyr Parry is the best place to go to when you need medical help. Advice and remedies are never charged for there, though everyone insists on eventually paying in fairy favours that Henny rarely needs to ask for.This place is also known as The Musical Apotheca because Henny and his dragon Taffy give free concerts every noon, during their lunchtime, for music is the food of their souls.

The Faux Gorgonhead is supposed to have drowned in its depths but may still be lurking there.

The Green Rock of Hope is a large, moss-covered rock around which, when little, Arley and his sisters Heather and Thistle played at granting mortal children that passed by it small favors. Following their Uncle Evenfall’s instructions, they also searched the rock’s surroundings for pebblesbright, the bloom on stones.

Owl Wood is a wood within Minced Forest where the trees are full of owls and even look like them.

Owl Wood Manse is an old manse that belonged to the Shyboy family.Tyrone sold it to Oberon but reserved some rights over it and still lives in its basement. And since Oberon doesn’t even remember he bought it, it will probably revert to Ty and his wife Felina and their owls and cats.

Pomsylvania is the small garden or orchard of the puca Garth’s home, and there he kept prisoner the Cyclops Apples.

Predictit Pond and Predictit Well (one has to jump into Predictit Well pond to gains access to Predictit Pond. Fairies visit this pond when they want to learn about the future. One can't see all the future there, but only snatches of it.
