Story4.5 out of 5 stars 55
The mysticism and fairy folklore of Celtic England, Scotland, the Isle of Man, Brittany, and Wales is explored in this production, which focuses on interviews conducted with everyday citizens about their beliefs, sightings, and encounters in the early 20th century, followed by an anthropological examination of evidence. It is an exploration of the spirit world, of the Sidhe, the "good people", who are claimed to interact mischievously with the populace - sometimes even abducting them and leaving only the victims' clothes behind, transporting them far distances, and killing livestock.

Though the book is of older nature having been writing in the early 1900s, the eloquence of language and indeed the exquisite narration make for an enjoyable investigation into the anthropology of the belief in Fairy in the Celtic peoples.
