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 their livestock.

Amazing narrator.

My problem isn't with the text. I have also, no ill will toward the narrator who is a skilled narrator. However, he is a poor choice for this text. His Oxford accent is jarring when listening to Celtic Lore. He also frankly butchers the pronunciation of Celtic languages, especially the Gaelic. So my enjoyment is often interrupted by some jarring abuses of Celtic languages. That should have been the top priority. It spoils the experience, I'm sad to say.
Disappoint by an old favorite classic

But having heard and deeply enjoyed this narrator Jack Chekijian's reading of Yeats' "The Celtic Twilight," I gave this book a listen and it's just a tremendously soothing, deep performance. You can fall asleep to it, or you can be enthralled by daylight. (I listened to some on a long drive through the countryside and it enjoyed it immensely.)

So, interesting? Yes. But this is not the type of thing I would ever want to read on a normal day. People told me about it and since I like Irish things that I should read it. Those people don't know me at all.
Not for me
