It's been about a week and a half. I'm gonna give this another bump. Sorry.
Another bump, just for fun.
Did you find it? I am curious too.
Well, now you've done it, curious too ...
You know, I randomly remembered that I'd made this post and decided to run a few more google searches. Apparently the thing throwing me off was the fact that the character who'd befriended the blind girl was an elf instead of a fairy. Anyways if anyone's interested - it's ''Stories of Fairies, Elves, and Little People''
by Francine L. Trevens and published in 1979. Apparently the elf's name was Eddie.
I read this as a child - probably in the early 2000s, but it was probably published (way?) earlier. I'm assuming the stories were written by various authors, since they didn't use a consistent mythology about fairies.
One story involved a fairy and a young blind girl. In this story, humans could hear fairies, but were unable to see them. Since the girl was blind though, the fairy was able to to befriend and play games with her, without her realizing that he wasn't just another child.
Another involved a fairy who kept playing pranks on a girl, and making her late for school. I know one thing he did, was transform himself into a baby in a baby carriage, and roll out into the road so that she would save the "baby".
