The Secret Lives of Elves and Faeries Summary

The Secret Lives of Elves and Faeries: From the Private Journal of the Rev. Robert Kirk by Robert Rev. Kirk

Welcome to the magical world of Faery! This book takes readers along on the journeys of the Reverend Robert Kirk, a seventeenth-century vicar of the parish of Aberfoyle, Scotland, into the heart of the faery world. Through his firsthand account, we visit faery hills and faery courts and experience the history, traditions and lives of these magical beings. Kirk wrote a book about his knowledge of these faeries called The Secret Commonwealth of Elves and Faeries, published in 1891. The present book reimagines Kirk's writings by supposing that he really did visit the faery realms where he met the Faery King and Queen, and is guided on a number of exciting journeys by a faery named Kee. The Secret Lives of Elves and Faeries is an engaging account of a man who was able to step through a magic doorway into the realm of Faery - and even more remarkably - was lost from real life to the land of faery. Readers who love Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings will delight in this authentic, exciting history of the faery world and the faeries' magical powers.
