Selected by Jennifer Chandler of The Folklore Society, this new edition brings together captivating Irish stories ranging from comic tales like Paddy O’Kelly and the Weasel to ancient heroic legends such as How Cormac Mac Art went to Faery. Funny, fantastical and mysterious by turns, the tales are brought vividly to life by John D. Batten’s original illustrations. Few better introductions exist for children wanting to discover the special magic of Celtic storytelling. The stories collected here are drawn from Joseph Jacob’s classic two-volume collection Celtic Fairy Tales (1891-2) and More Celtic Fairy Tales (1894).
