Publisher’s Synopsis
W.B. Yeats compiled his ‘Folk and Fairytales of Ireland’ in 1888.  This new addition has been produced with young readers in mind.  Neil Philip, a folklore specialist, has chosen 19 stories from the original collection.  He has also provided a fascinating ‘Introduction and Notes’ to the individual stories, where you will find a rich mixture of Irish pixies and hobgoblins, foolish young men, beautiful maidens, giants and fearsome old women.  The atmospheric illustrations by P.J. Lynch are important part of this book and his interpretations of these larger-than-life characters are a delight.
