About This Item
SIMON & SCHUSTER, 1998. 1ST. SOFTCOVER. VERY GOOD. 1ST. 5.5 x 1.1 x 8.25 inches. pp. 387. Publisher: Scribner (March 2, 1998) Language: English SOFTCOVER: 408 pages ISBN-10: 0684829525 ISBN-13: 978-0684829524 Item Weight: 1.14 POUNDS Dimensions: 5.5 x 1.1 x 8.25 inches. Fairy and Folk Tales of Ireland combines two books of Irish folklore collected and edited by William Butler Yeats--Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry, first published in 1888, and Irish Fairy Tales, published in 1892. In this delightful gathering of legend and song, the familiar characters of Irish myth come to life: the mercurial trooping fairies, as ready to make mischief as to do GOOD; the solitary and industrious Lepracaun and his dissipated cousin, the Cluricaun; the fearsome Pooka, who lives among ruins and has grown monstrous with much solitude ; and the Banshee, whose eerie wailing warns of death. More than an ambitious and successful effort to preserve the rich heritage of his native land, this volume confirms Yeats's conviction that imagination is the source of both life and art.
