Synopsis

From the extreme West of the Indo-European world we go this year to the extreme East. From the soft rain and green turf of Gaeldom we seek the garish sun and arid soil of the Hindoo. In the Land of Ire the belief in fairies gnomes ogres and monsters is all but dead; in the Land of Ind it still flourishes in all the vigour of animism
