Written in 1691 by a Scottish clergyman, The Secret Commonwealth, is one of the most sought after texts about Celtic elves, fauns, and fairies. The sympathetic account of the denizens of fairyland came at a time when "witches" suffered at Presbyterian hands for merely narrating popular tales. Extensive comments and endnotes explore: Subterranean Inhabitants, Hades, Psychical Research, Second Sight, and Telepathy. (132 pages)
