Classic Celtic Fairy Tales
About this book
...well-researched, rather scholarly book...fanciful illustrations, in both black-and-white and color...-- PW. Matthews...offers a very attractively presented collection...wonderfully illustrated...Not since the offerings of Jeremiah Curtin, W.B.
Yeats, Lady Gregory, and others at the turn of the century has such a collection been assembled....most were culled from various books and obscure journals that have long been out of print....Each story is followed by a short yet informative note on the tale and its sources, and there is a good bibliography and index.
This book would be attractive to younger readers as well as adults interested in Celtic traditions and is recommended for most public and academic libraries.-- LJ. ...some of the finest works of wonder ever collected...-- Irish American News.
