The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns, and Fairies by Robert Kirk, with an introduction by Marina Warner

In the mid-to-late 1600s, Scottish Minister Robert Kirk travelled the Highlands of Scotland collecting the stories of the common folk. This book illuminates their myths, legends, folklore, and tall tales of first-hand encounters with beings of the Other World. Left in manuscript form for a century and a half, Sir Robert Scott was instrumental in getting Kirk's book published for the first time in 1815.
