Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Reliability tier 2, a classic early academic field study collecting first hand fairy belief testimony in Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Cornwall and Brittany. The material is over a century old and its author read some of it through a comparative religion lens later scholarship has qualified, so this atlas treats it as a primary record of the belief rather than as the final analytical word on it, paired with more recent Celtic studies scholarship where that exists.
