First published in 1911, the classic book on the luminous reality of leprechauns, pixies, and other fairy spirits What are fairies, those romantic and sometimes mischievous little people--pixies, nixies, elves, fauns, brownies, dwarfs, leprechauns, and all other forms of the daoine sidhe (fairy people)? Are they real? Folklorists say they are fragments of ancient religious beliefs; occultists call them nature spirits; the peasant tradition says they are fallen angels who were not good enough to be saved or bad enough to be lost. In his definitive study, W.Y. Evans-Wentz, the renowned translator of The Tibetan Book of the Dead, unveils the mystic and mysterious folklore of all the Celtic nations. This book presents a body of tradition of and testimony about an elusive order of life that survives in the natural setting of wild and lonely places. Not satisfied with merely formal study, Evans-Wentz collected firsthand reports of fairies in Wales, Ireland, Scotland, and Brittany and sought to answer the key questions avoided by other folklorists. A classic in the field of Celtic studies, The Fairy Faith in Celtic Countries presents evidence for living fairy faith that Dr. Wentz gathered in his travels; examines the recorded stories of fairies in classic works like the Welsh Mabinogion, and the Irish Tuatha de Danann, as well as Arthurian legends; explores belief in fairies; and studies the fairy faith in light of science. A compassionate, lively, and seminal exploration of a rich and luminous world, this is an unparalleled addition to the field of Celtic studies.

If you need something warm
Team Name: Lightweight Comforter, Size: Oversized King, Color: Black
Not cooling at all. Very warm 365 days a year (I live in AZ) Use it as an extra layer of fluff on my bed rather then an actual blanket as its to warm for me. Very soft though. Washes well and holds its color. Priced well. Lightweight. Have had for sometime and isnt falling apart.

Color and weight are perfect
Team Name: Lightweight Comforter, Size: King, Color: Sage Green, Team Name: Lightweight Comforter, Size: King, Color: Sage Green
Perfect, lightweight; just what I was looking for. It’s soft and feels nice. Sage Green color is true to the photo. I bought a king for a queen bed, I’m glad I didn’t get the queen because it would have left my mattress visible but I can still see the bed with the king. For the price, it’s okay quality and I’m okay with that.

Lightweight, Cozy, and Affordable!
Team Name: Lightweight Comforter, Size: Queen, Color: Lavender Purple
This comforter is such a great value for the price. It’s lightweight but still warm and cozy, making it perfect for year-round use. The fabric feels soft to the touch, and it fluffs up nicely right out of the package. The queen size fits my bed perfectly and looks great once styled with pillows. It also washes well — I tossed it in the washer and dryer and it came out just as fluffy as before, no clumping or shifting. If you want a comfortable, budget-friendly comforter that looks and feels nice, this is definitely a great pick!
