The enchanting collection of Irish stories presented in this edition features a mix of humorous narratives like "Paddy O'Kelly and the Weasel" and legendary tales about ancient heroes, including "How Cormac Mac Art went to Faery." These stories, which weave humor, fantasy, and mystery, are vividly brought to life with illustrations by John D. Batten. This book serves as an excellent introduction for young readers to the unique charm of Celtic storytelling. The tales included are drawn from Joseph Jacobs' esteemed two-volume works, "Celtic Fairy Tales" (1891-2) and "More Celtic Fairy Tales" (1894).
