Irish Folk & Fairy Tales

Fables, Folklore & Ancient Stories
Gorgeous Collector's Edition of Irish Fairy stories from the fertile lands of Celtic imagination, where the magic of the everyday is manifested in the world around us. A delightful, beautiful selection of fables, folklore and fairy tales with tricksters, banshees, fairy queens and ancient spirits.

Fairy stories, especially from the fertile landscape of Ireland where the supernatural grew from the legends of the Celts, are the magic stories of everyday folk seeking solutions to the challenges of the day. This spritely new collection brings together the fables and stories of banshees, kings, trembling farmers, tricksters and beloved princesses. ‘Smallhead and the King's Sons’ (a Cinderella story) and ‘The Haughty Princess’ (recalling Grimm’s ‘Kings Thrushbeard’) are amongst the many delightful tales of hope and reckless determination.

Flame Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction, authors, myths and tales without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library. Each book features a new introduction and a Glossary of Terms.
