This is one of the most sought after and enigmatic texts about Celtic fairies. Privately written by a Scottish clergyman, Robert Kirk, in 1691, and not committed to print until the early 19th century, The Secret Commonwealth is an unusually sympathetic and open minded account of the denizens of fairyland, and a study of still mysterious extrasensory phenomena including poltergeists, clairvoyance and doppelgangers (here called 'co-walkers').
