The author, W. Y.
Evans-Wentz, was best known as the translator of
The Tibetan
Book of the Dead. In the world of Celtic spirituality he made his
mark through The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries. This magnificent
book is a
collection of stories, anecdotes, and legends from all six of the
regions where Celtic ways have persisted in the modern world:
Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, and the Isle of Man. It examines
how Fairy
spirituality survived in the face of hostility caused by modern
science and religion.
