Irish Folk & Fairy Tales

A joyful compilation of entertaining folklore and fairytales from Ireland.

Fairy stories, especially from the fertile landscape of Ireland where the supernatural grew from the legends of the Celts, are the magic stories of everyday folk seeking solutions to the challenges of the day. This spritely new collection brings together the fables and stories of banshees, kings, trembling farmers, tricksters, and beloved princesses. "Smallhead and the King's Sons" and "The Haughty Princess" are amongst the many delightful tales of hope and reckless determination.

The Flame Tree Publishing Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction, authors, myths, and tales without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library. Each book features a new introduction and a glossary of terms.
