The Queen of the Fairies is sometimes named Queen Mab, depending on the source material. She's also known as the Queen of Elfland, the Queen of Elphame, and Titania.

So who is Mab? Does she come from English folklore, or is Mab the name given by playwrights and poets to the Queen in folklore?

Let's find out in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
