1892. Our book contains Volumes 1 and 2 of the original work. The
superiority of Celtic folktales is due as much to the conditions
under which they have been collected, as to any innate superiority
of the folk imagination. The Celtic folktales were collected while
the practice of story telling was still in full vigor, though there
were every signs that its term of life was already numbered.
Nowhere else was there so large and consistent a body of oral
tradition about the national and mythical heroes as amongst the
Gaels. Jacobs endeavored to include the best and most typical
stories told by the chief masters of the Celtic folktale, Campbell,
Kennedy, Hyde and Curtin, and to these he added the best tales
scattered elsewhere. Handsomely illustrated.
