For untold generations in countless Irish cottages, in front of peat-fueled fires, some of the gayest, most fanciful, and most sparkling folk tales that ever caused young eyes to grow brighter and young hearts to beat faster were told. Fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers, even great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers have repeated the same stories that thrilled them as youngsters.*** In this book are another twenty of the most popular of these stories, each one richly endowed with all the magic and charm, all the humor and color of the vivid Irish Imagination. These stories, some of them more than a thousand years old are as fascinating today as they were when Fin, Cormac, and Kayn Mac Loy roamed Irish field, glenn, and forest. *** "More Celtic Folk and Fairy Tales", the fourth in Joseph Jacobs' six-book "Folk and Fairy Tale" series, was originally published in 1894. This edition contains all twenty of the original stories, all forty-six of the original illustrations, and all twenty letter-blocks by John D. Batten, plus thirteen pages of notes and references on the stories for the interested scholar. *** This book contains these stories: The Fate of the Children of Lir; Jack the Cunning Thief; Powel, Prince of Dyfed; Paddy O'Kelly and the Weasel; The Black Horse; The Vision of MacConglinney; Dream of Owen O'Mulready; Morraha; The Story of the McAndrew Family; The Farmer of Liddesdale; The Greek Princess and the Young Gardener; The Russet Dog Smallhead and the King's Sons; The Legend of Knockgrafton; Elidore; The Leeching of Kayn's leg; How Fin went to the Kingdom of the Big Men; How Cormac Mac Art went to Faery; The Ridere of Riddles; and The Tail. * * * This book is included along with "Celtic Folk and Fairy Tales" and "European Folk and Fairy Tales" in the second volume of Flying Chipmunk's Joseph Jacob two-volume collection. * * * Check out the other Fairy Books from Flying Chipmunk Publishing!
