Faerie Stories is the second album by Scottish Celtic fusion group Peatbog Faeries, released in 2001 on Greentrax Recordings. The album was reissued in 2008 as a digipack. The album is large departure from the sound of their début album Mellowosity, and sees the band explore a largely electronic sound mixed with their traditional Celtic fusion sound. Influences of electronic genres such as electronica, house, dubtronica and trip hop, in addition to even dub music and African music can be heard on the album fused with traditional Scottish Celtic music. Co-produced between the band's percussionist Iain Copeland and Calum MacLean, working under the pseudonym Jason Famous, the album was recorded in 1999 across three Scottish studios but was not released until June 2001 as the original record label intended to release the album, the New York-based Astor Place Recordings, went bankrupt and closed. Despite the delays, the album was released to a very positive critical response, and became one of Greentrax Recordings' best ever selling albums. It was re-released in 2008 on the band's own label Peatbog Records.
