Come sit by the fire--a world of enchantment awaits you in this
treasury of classic Irish stories by folklorist T. Crofton Croker.
From 1812 to 1816, he roamed southern Ireland, listening to his
countrymen's stories of pixies, leprechauns, and other supernatural
creatures. The result is one of the first collections of Irish
fairy tales on record--and it's often considered the finest. Told
in plain but colorful language with charming illustrations that
capture the wonder of these tales, it became an overnight
bestseller. An engaging mix of darkness and humor, the thirty-eight
stories are filled to the brim with Irish wit and magic. In "The
Haunted Cellar," you'll meet one of Ireland's oldest families, with
blood as thick as buttermilk and a reputation for hospitality. But
what is the secret in Justin Mac Carthy's wine cellar that forces
every butler to quit? In "The Changeling," a new mother finds a
just solution when her infant is replaced by a mischievous fairy.
"The Legend of Knockfierna" teaches fearless Carroll O'Daly a hard
lesson about interfering with the "little people." And that's just
a taste of the delights inside. A rich reflection of Celtic
culture, "Irish Fairy Legends" will entertain you and your family
for generations.
