Jeremiah Curtin collected these tales in Ireland from Gaelic-speaking storytellers. A king of Erin’s son plays cards with a giant and loses, the three daughters of King O’Hara marry enchanted husbands, a weaver’s son defeats the giant of the White Hill, and Fair, Brown and Trembling gives an Irish shape to Cinderella.
A foundational collection of Irish wonder tales, still a delight to read aloud. Download the free EPUB.
