Short stories

An ethereal collection of long-lost fairy tales and folk stories from Ireland, collated and edited by one of the most sensational Irish poets, W. B. Yeats.

This anthology of Irish myths and folklore was first published in 1892 after being carefully collated by W. B. Yeats. The prolific poet had a deep interest in the folkloric history of his country and dedicated part of his career to editing traditional fairy tales and translating them from the original Irish. Irish Fairy and Folk Tales is an illusive collection of beautiful and ghostly stories concerning fairies, changelings, witches, giants, the devil, and the supernatural.

The tales featured in this volume are divided between the following sections:

- The Trooping Fairies - Changelings - The Merrow - The Solitary Fairies - Ghosts - Witches, Fairy Doctors - T’yeer-Na-N-Oge - Saints, Priests - The Devil - Giants - Kings, Queens, Princesses, Earls, Robbers
