Elvish folk spin in places (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sprites

'elvish folk' is the definition.
(elf-like creatures)

'spin in places' is the wordplay.
'spin' becomes 'pr' (short for public relations - media spin).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'places' becomes 'sites' (site is a kind of place).
'pr' inserted within 'sites' is 'SPRITES'.

(Other definitions for sprites that I've seen before include "Brownies" , "goblins?" , "Elves or fairies" .)
