Fairies (6)

I believe the answer is:

pixies

'fairies' is the definition.
(I know this)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pixies that I've seen before include "small fairies in children's tales" , "Mischievous fairies" , "Little (mischievous) people" , "Elves, imps" , "Small supernatural beings in fairy tales" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, The Telegraph, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard and The Guardian.
