Description
A bewitching anthology of 35 Irish fairytales and legends: mixing tricksters, banshees, giants, ghosts and fairy folk in timeless stories told to countless generations. Authentic texts and expert selections record the funny, poignant and chilling stories once told across Ireland; from the king of the Firbolgs in Lough Erne; to the Kildare ’Pooka’ and the Legend of Knockgrafton. Themed chapters arrange the stories by theme, including tales of romance and tragedy; heroes and giants; fairies and sea-folk; and supernatural forces. From bewitched butter and fairy music; to The Beresford Ghost and Fionn Mac Cumhail. Presented in English, the tales themselves draw upon the richness of the Celtic storytelling tradition and the Irish language and the book includes a fascinating glossary to expand the context and discover Irish words. Handsomely presented in a colourful and compact gift edition; with metallic-edged pages, foil stamping and embossed details to the covers and a convenient ribbon marker.
