Synopsis: This classic on the subject is dedicated to two people who greatly influenced the author W.B. Yeats and AE, perhaps the greatest mystic and visionary of this century.
From the Back Cover: What are fairies, those romantic and sometimes mischievous little people-- pixies, nixies, elves, fauns, brownies, dwarfs, leprechauns, and all the other forms of the daoine sidhe (fairy people)? Are they real? Folklorists say they are fragments of ancient religious beliefs; occultists call them nature spirits; the peasant tradition says they are fallen angels who were not good enough to be saved or bad enough to be lost.
Dr. Evans-Wentz is best known as the author-translator of "The Tibetan Book of the Dead", but his first love was this book, which presents a body of tradition and testimony about an elusive order of life that survives in the natural setting of wild and lonely places. He was not satisfied with merely formal study, but collected first-hand reports of fairies in Wales, Ireland, Scotland and Brittany, and faced up to the key questions avoided by other folklorists. Dr. Evans-Wentz, whose journeys led him from the haunts of fairyland to the wilderness of Tibet, opens a path for us to the luminous reality behind the traditions of folklore.

Book Description Softcover. Condition: Good. Facsimile. First published in 1911, The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries has become a classic on the subject, even though it is less well-known that his Tibetan Book of the Dead, Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines, and The Tibetan Book of the Great Liberation, for example. This has been largely due to its having been out of print for so long. The appearance of this edition in 1977 was therefore extremely timely. The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries was Walter Yeeling Evans Wentz's first book. It is dedicated to two people who had greatly influenced him: the poet W.B.Yeats and G.W.Russell - 'AE' - who was perhaps the greatest mystic and visionary of this century (and is the anonymous mystic whose interview is printed on pages 59-66 of this book).
