This deluxe hardback edition presents W. B. Yeat's enthralling tales from Ireland's oral history, with delightful illustrations, gilded page edges and a striking gold-embossed cover design. One of Ireland's greatest writers, the Nobel-prize winner Yeats was fascinated by the myths and folklore of his native country. This passion culminated in the formation of this classic anthology which he compiled and introduced, bringing together Irish folk tales and poetry by a variety of folklorists, storytellers, poets and historians, among them Lady Wilde, the mother of Oscar Wilde. Within these pages, you'll discover tales of greedy sons who get their comeuppance, canny priests, evil witches and demons alongside legends of heroic kings, giants and, of course, the good folk themselves - the fairies, the leprechauns and the cluricauns. By turns charming and scary, these are yarns that have passed down through generations and which are still as entertaining and magical as when they were first recalled. This cloth-look hardback edition features beautiful illustrations, ivory pages and patterned endpapers, making a wonderful gift or keepsake for any literature lover. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Gilded Classics series presents luxury gift editions of classics works, printed on opulent ivory paper, featuring hardcover Wibilin binding, foil-embossed cover designs, beautifully designed end-papers and gilded page edges. These make perfect collectibles for lovers of classic literature.

Irish folk tales, in the vernacular. A wonderful read -- and wonderful for grandparents looking for folk tales to read to their grandchildren -- different tales for different age groups. Just the stories, shared by the fireside, to help our young ones learn what it means to be human.
Delicious.

A Touch of the Irish Traditional History
A thoroughly delightful book that can be read and reread and then reread to the youngster sitting at your knee. Absolutely enchanting. It speaks of a different age when, before the Druids and their spirits had been banished by the Church to make way for the Scientific Age where disbelief is the norm, the wee people roamed the island and brought the Irish good luck or misfortune, depending on whether they had an ear to listen. An absolutely marvelous book.

Irish Beasties & More
This book is a must-have for all fairy & folk tale lovers, especially if you happen to be Irish. It has short stories about all the creatures of Irish legends and myths in a very readable style. The stories are very entertaining and give insight into the thinking of early Irish beliefs. They are well written and great gifts for the Irish in your circle of friends.
