In this collection of essays and folklore, W. B. Yeats explores the mysticism, folklore, and fairy tales of the Irish countryside. Drawing from his own experiences and the stories of local villagers, Yeats captures the supernatural essence of Ireland's ancient traditions, from encounters with fairies to ghostly apparitions. His writing blends poetic prose with a deep respect for the mysterious and the unseen, offering a window into the rich cultural heritage of Ireland's mythical past. This edition of The Celtic Twilight is based on the expanded 1902 edition, which remains one of the best-known collections of Yeats' prose. Here he explores the longstanding connection between the people of Ireland and the inhabitants of the land of Faery. Yeats received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.

A wonderful book, well worth the reading, especially if you've ever had a nudge from a puc or spirit from the world beyond the Scientific view.
