Collected from peasants and fireside storytellers across Ireland, these tales tell of the seven kings of Athenry, the taming of a pooka, a sexton of Cashel, how the lakes were made and the doings of fairies, witches and the Devil himself. Most are given in the rich dialect of the tellers.
A lively nineteenth-century gathering of Irish folklore, best read aloud for its speech and humour. Download the free EPUB.
