Illustrated by John D. Batten. Stories selected by Jennifer
Chandler, The Folklore Society. The captivating Irish stories
collected in this new edition include both comic tales such as
Paddy O'Kelly and the Weasel, and tales of heroes from ancient
literature such as How Cormac Mac Art went to Faery. By turns
funny, fantastical and mysterious, the stories are matched in
liveliness by the original illustrations of John D. Batten. It
would be hard to find a better introduction for children to the
special magic of Celtic storytelling. The stories in this book are
taken from Joseph Jacob's classic two-volume collection Celtic
Fairy Tales (1891-2) and More Celtic Fairy Tales (1894)
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1892 Edition.

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.
