History

The Gael were, as a people, pre-eminently superstitious. They were, in the main, a simple minded race, credulous to the last degree, and in almost every form in which superstition has existed it was to be found among them. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
