This was such an interesting dissection of the way that elf/fairy lore has evolved through the years - mostly focusing on Ireland and Iceland, though the author makes the point that really, any country's fairies would have followed a similar path towards the end result of an international form of fairy lore.
As someone who also prefers the older, more nuanced versions of elves and fairies, I loved seeing someone else get so passionate about the topic! He even brought up Tolkien and Lang's views on the subject matter.
Also, he called Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell as a "literary masterpiece" so I trust his judgement.
