Publisher's Synopsis
Beliefs about fairies were not exclusive to the Celtic lands. The details of the legends vary in different parts of the world but their essence is the same. What is special about Celtic faerie lore is that it is much more vividly documented that most, and widespread belief in faeries lingered much longer on the European Celtic fringe than in neighbouring cultures. This is a tour of faerie myth and legend, re-telling the key stories from The Tuatha to the lingering beliefs of today, with enlightening, informative commentary.
