Originally published in 1892, this beautifully written collection of Celtic fairy tales is bound to enrapture. Filled to the brim with, as Joseph Jacob says,?both the best, and the best known folk-tales of the Celts," this is the first of his two collections of Celtic folklore. Included in this charming collection are tales of romance, tales that will make you laugh, and tales with sadness intertwined. The twenty-six story medley includes:?Guleesh"?Conal Yellowclaw"?The Shepherd of Myddvai"?The Story of Deirdre"?The Wooing of Olwen"?The Sea-Maiden"? |
