Written by Rev. Robert Kirk, a 17th century vicar, The Secret Commonwealth of Elves and Faeries is one of the most famous books about faery lore ever to have been published, and is still regarded as an important source today. Rev. Robert Kirk himself is said to have died under mysterious circumstances, and to have been imprisoned in the faery realm, from which he may yet be set free some day. In The Secret Lives of Elves and Faeries, John Matthews attempts to get ‘inside the mind’ of Kirk, re-imagining his writings in the form of a journal, describing his visits to the faery realms and what he found there, and suggesting what may actually have happened to Kirk when he disappeared on 20 June 1692.
