Emily Wilde is an academic at Cambridge in 1909 (no discussion of the real troubles women would have had at the time in trying to enter academia), writing the Encyclopedia of Faeries. She visits an island off Norway for the final chapter. Cue encounters with courtly and common Folk, myths, footnotes (like a shorter Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell), and the local villagers.
Yes it could be deeper and more involved, and it could be more accurate to the British English of the time ("restroom" and "movies"??!), and it didn't need to

The fae and other creatures in this book are the dark and twisted sort. Closer to the more classic representation of them. A darkly whimsical sort of vibe. There are several scenes that can get pretty violent if that isn't your cup of tea.kuronekostea's review against another edition

As an avid fantasy lover, I adored the folklore added to this "Encyclopedia". Emily's character is such a great narrative and I enjoyed seeing this scholar shut in learn to open up a little and handle herself.
