The text explores the existence and nature of various mythical creatures and spirits, presenting a detailed metaphysical framework for understanding their role in human experience and the natural world. The opening of the work provides context for understanding the author, Robert Kirk, who was a minister and believed to have been taken by the fairies. It discusses his life, his scholarly focus on the supernatural, and sets the stage for the exploration of the fairy world. It describes the beliefs held by Kirk regarding "Sleagh Maith" or the "Good People," as well as the phenomena related to second sight and the unseen beings inhabiting the natural world around us. Through an introduction that investigates the interplay between folklore, religion, and psychical phenomena, Kirk presents a blend of personal insight and cultural lore, hinting at the complex relationship humans have with the mysteries of the unseen.
