With these stories, poems, and folk songs curated and edited by Nobel Prize-winning Irish poet W. B. Yeats, you'll discover that Irish folk tradition offers much more than just little men in green jealously guarding pots of gold. While the section on "solitary fairies" does kick off with "The Lepracaun; or, Fairy Shoemaker," Yeats showcases a wide array of tales about even more unusual creatures and events. In "The Kildare Pooka," you'll hear about a supernatural donkey whose curse is lifted after being dressed up in a boy's coat. In "The Pudding Bewitched," you'll hear of how a bride's crotchety fairy uncle expresses his displeasure at her groom by sending a dancing sausage to crash the wedding. These stories and more await, each told with a mix of wit, verve, and charm that evokes a spirited night down at the pub.
