Country from which some fairy stories have arisen (5)
I believe the answer is:
syria
'country' is the definition.
(I know that Syria is a country)
'some fairy stories have arisen' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'arisen' says the letters should be written in reverse (I've seen 'arising' mean this).
'airys' can be found hidden inside 'fairy stories have'.
'airys' reversed gives 'SYRIA'.
'from which' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for syria that I've seen before include "Country bordering Israel" , "Middle East country, capital Damascus" , "Middle Eastern country" , "Antioch once its capital" , "Arab republic, independent since 1946" .)
