About this book
In 1691 Robert Kirk, minister of Aberfoyle in Scotland, set down what Highland people believed about the fairy folk: where they live, how they look and behave, and which people, the seers, can see them. The manuscript was printed in 1815. This edition of 1893 adds an introduction and notes by Andrew Lang, who treats it as a study in folklore and psychical research. A tradition recorded in the verses at the front says Kirk was himself taken into fairyland.
