In the late nineteenth century, Nobel Prize-winning writer W. B. Yeats set out to record the myths and folklore of his native Ireland, a land as renowned for its fantastic legends as it is for its storytelling traditions. This handsome new slipcase edition of Yeats's anthology will enthrall contemporary readers with more than fifty imaginative tales of fairies and witches, giants and leprechauns, kings and queens, robbers and saints. Charming, alarming, magical, educational, even scary, Fairy and Folk Tales of Ireland deserves a spot on the shelf of every Irish-loving reader…and anyone who's a fan of a good yarn!
