This collection of reports of elfin creatures in Wales; Ireland; Scotland; and Brittany ranks among the most scholarly works ever published on the subject. The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries begins with the author's account of firsthand testimony from living sources; classified under individual countries and introduced by leading authorities on anthropology and folklore. The next section concerns the recorded traditions of Celtic literature and mythology; followed by an examination of a variety of theories and their religious aspects. The book concludes with a remarkably rational case for the reality of fairy life. Narrated with an engaging sense of wonder; this volume offers a valuable resource for students of anthropology and Celtic lore; as well as hours of delightful reading for fairy enthusiasts.
