Description
The special magic of the Irish imagination shines forth in these fourteen authentic folktales.
These tales are filled with the mystery and adventure of a land of lonely country roads and isolated farms, humble cottages and lordly castles, rolling fields and tractless bogs. They tell of ghosts and giants, of strange happenings and wondrous deeds, of fairies and witches and of fools and kings. Above all in these stories there is a sense of the full wonder of a world where the marvellous and the unexpected can always happen, and nothing is ever quite as it seems.
About the Author
Kevin Danaher has drawn on a wide variety of sources and on more than thirty years of research into Irish folk tradition. He has published many books including In Ireland Long Ago and The Year in Ireland.
