Irish Folk & Fairy Tales: Ancient Wisdom, Fables & Folklore by J.K. Jackson (Flame Tree Collector's Editions)
Fairy stories from Ireland, especially from the fertile landscape 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 joyful compilation brings together the fables and stories of banshees, kings, trembling farmers, tricksters and beloved princesses. "Smallhead and the King's Sons"—a Cinderella story—and "The Haughty Princess," recalling Grimm's tales, are amongst the many delightful narratives of hope and reckless determination.
A gorgeous collector's edition of entertaining folklore and fairytales, this spritely new collection celebrates the imaginative heritage of Ireland. The Flame Tree 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 volume features a new introduction and a glossary of terms.
