About the Author Walter Yeeling Evans-Wentz (1878–1965) was an anthropologist and writer who was a pioneer in the study of Tibetan Buddhism. He was born as Walter Yeeling Wentz in Trenton, New Jersey, and as a teenager read Madame Blavatsky's Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine and became interested in the teachings of Theosophy. He received both his B.A. and M.A. from Stanford University, where he studied with William James and William Butler Yeats. He then studied Celtic mythology and folklore at Jesus College, Oxford; there he added his mother's Welsh surname Evans to his name, being known henceforth as Evans-Wentz. He travelled extensively, spending time in Mexico, Europe, and the Far East. He spent the years of the First World War in Egypt. He later travelled to Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) and India, reaching Darjeeling in 1919; there he encountered Tibetan religious texts firsthand. Evans-Wentz is best known for four texts translated from the Tibetan, especially The Tibetan Book of the Dead. Evans-Wentz credited himself only as the compiler and editor of these volumes. The actual translation of the texts was performed by Tibetan Buddhists, primarily Lama Kazi Dawa-Samdup, a teacher of English at the Maharaja's Boys' School in Gangtok, Sikkim who had also done translations for Alexandra David-Neel and Sir John Woodroffe. Evans-Wentz's interpretations and organization of this Tibetan material is frequently unreliable, being influenced by wholly extraneous preconceptions he brought to the subject from theosophy.

Oh I love this book By Francesca De Grandis The realm of Faerie and its inhabitants have always called to humans, with whispered promises of longings fulfilled, starlit magic, and freedom from oppressive societal structures. Some modern books address this hunger in an ethical, powerful way. However, current publishers also print a plethora of trite rubbish that takes unfair advantage of the ancient bond between human and Fey. This 1911 classic is a book that I would recommend be on the shelf of any starry-eyed seeker of Faerie lore or Fey-touched magic. You may not want to sit down to read it through, but prefer to read just a bit here and there over time. And you might want to read selectively. But even a few wee bits of this book will be worth the book's cost, because those bits are worth more than a whole slew of lesser books. I am so glad that this text came to me when I first decided to actually study this area; though it was many years ago, it is still a lovely memory.

I had exclusive access to an original at UGA's library and never thought I'd see it again after my father died and I lost my faculty privileges. W. Y. Evans Wentz is an amazing authority on many things spiritual. I first met his works in his authorized translation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. This man was a true explorer and scholar in the finest of English tradition. Fans of the Mabinogion will find countless gemstones hidden herein. [As they will in Lady Gregory Scott's "Gods and Fighting Men"] Where Modred's tale leaves off Wentz's begins. Hint.. Hint...Nod Nod..Wink Wink ;-).
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Evans Wentz was thorough By Kurt S. Ulrich The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries is a fabulous book. It will take me ages to read through it even one time, but it is filled with information that is well worth digesting. Covering so much time and space as it does, it pulls together all sorts of threads about the fairies. I'm excited about finding a large block of time to get serious.
