A Treasury of Irish Fairy and Folk Tales

These Irish tales all are reprinted from nineteenth-century sources, but they date back to a centuries-old oral tradition of storytelling that had yet to be committed to the printed page. They were passed down through the ages virtually unaltered and feature a wide variety of fantastic beings.

In addition, this collection includes ghosts, witches and fairy doctors, priests and saints, encounters with the devil, titans of Ireland's historical past and popular treasure legends.
