fairy + land

2. Any place of great natural beauty, or having a magical atmosphere.
   After months of darkness, mud and shuttered shops, what a delight to see gay streets filled with stores, all gorgeous in a Christmas fairyland of decoration. 2005, A War Nurse's Diary: Sketches from a Belgian Field Hospital, page 63
