EvansWentz presents an accurate record of ancestral Celtic devotion about theapparent reality of leprechauns pixies elves fairies and other naturespirits. Not only is this a formal and scholarly study but an educated reportof how beliefs became the standards of ancient Pagan magic. We come away withthe conclusion that fairies and other such manifestations may be theinhabitants of a more advanced existence that only a few of us can understand.This account combines medieval myths traditional fairy knowledge and earlyPaganism with folklore history anthropology and psychology to become anarrative which appears too consistent to be the result of an insanedistraction. This magnificent book is a very readable collection of anecdotesinterviews and legends made available to EvansWentz who has fashioned theminto an essential reference for generations to come. «
