"The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries" is the broadest, most
scholarly, yet open-minded exploration of the whole concept of this
place and these beings we usually cannot even see. Evans-Wentz was
catching the last of the lore as it was seen and believed in by the
old people who would've come of age in the 19th century, since he
was recording their stories about 1910, in out of the way places
where the inroads of the Industrial Age had not made a permanent
home in the mind sets of the country people. There is so much in
this one book, it would tax me to list it all; so dive in for
yourself and see, and hear the words of the people as Evan-Wentz
recorded them. He does it in an admirable way, though he, as an
American, was an outsider coming into this lore, the respect he
feels for the knowledge and insights, the values and views of the
informants is evident in every line.
