Description: The magical world of Celtic lore with 21 stories. Ireland is the last refuge in the Western world of the Fiary tale – told still as a living and believable story and not just as a quietener in nursery.

The stories included here, ranging from the delicate world of faerie to darker manifestations and mischievous pranks, span the centuries up to recent times. Each is superbly illustrated by Richard Hook, an artist specially commissioned for his interpretations, both scholarly and intuitive, of the world of myth and fantasy.
