Queen Mab is referenced by Spenser, Milton, Shakespeare and many others so there can be little doubt as to her existence. I originally made her many, many years ago for Aspreys of London, but after problems with the English Customs Department she was returned. Since then she has largely remained safely in the back of my safe.
