Overview
One of Ireland's greatest writers, the Nobel-prize winner W. B. Yeats was fascinated by the myths and folklore of his native country. Compiled by Yeats in 1892, these stories were collected around the country by a variety of historians, including Lady Wilde, the mother of Oscar Wilde. Inside, you'll discover over 25 tales of such tales, featuring 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.
