Born and educated in Dublin, Ireland, William Butler Yeats discovered early in his literary career a fascination with Irish folklore and the occult. Later awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923, Yeats produced a vast collection of stories, songs, and poetry of Ireland's historical and legendary past. These writings helped secure for Yeats recognition as a leading proponent of Irish nationalism and Irish cultural independence. Originally published in two separate books near the end of the nineteenth century, these tales have preserved a rich and charming heritage in a charmingly authentic Irish voice. In this volume, extraordinary characters of Irish myth are brought to life through the brilliant poetic voice of W.B. Yeats. These legendary stories of capricious Trooping Fairies, the frightful Banshee, Kings and Queens, Giants, Devils and the ever popular Leprechaun will delight and entertain readers of all ages.

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.

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.
