By Fiona Macleod, edited and with annotations by Laura Wilson. Written in 1899 The Immortal Hour is moody, dreamy meditation on life, death, love and immortality. Based loosely on the Irish myth “The Wooing of Etain,” the story follows the love of a mortal king, Eochaidh for an immortal fairy woman Etain who at the end of a year with him is reclaimed by her immortal lover, Midir. Woven through out is the enigmatic and dark fairy fool, Dalua, who stands on the threshold between the worlds.
