  <default_description>Gathered by the renowned Irish poet, playwright, and essayist William Butler Yeats, the sixty-five tales and poems in this delightful collection uniquely capture the rich heritage of the Celtic imagination. Filled with legends of village ghosts, fairies, demons, witches, priests, and saints, these stories evoke both tender pathos and lighthearted mirth and embody what Yeats describes as &amp;#8220;the very voice of the people, the very pulse of life.&amp;#8221;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8220;The impact of these tales doesn&amp;#8217;t stop with Yeats, or Joyce, or Oscar Wilde,&amp;#8221; writes Paul Muldoon in his Foreword, &amp;#8220;for generations of readers in Ireland and throughout the world have found them flourishing like those persistent fairy thorns.&amp;#8221;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was one of the first books I ever owned for myself.

    <body><![CDATA[Really enjoyable. And I'm hard to please with Irish folklore stuff. Very picky. Very skeptical. These read as very authentic and many of the people are excellent storytellers. Lots of Irish language thrown in.<br/><br/>There is the usual condescension toward the peasantry found in many collections...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8222541">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I loved this collection.  Even though it's large, the stories are short, making it easy to maintain focus.  I liked the ending stories which were variations on common fairy tales.  I also learned more about fairies and their myths earlier on in the book.]]></body>
