"Gathered by the renowned Irish poet, playwright, and essayist William Butler
Yeats, the sixty-five tales and poems in this delightful collection uniquely
capture the rich heritage of the Celtic imagination. Filled with legends of
village ghosts, fairies, demons, witches, priests, and saints, these stories
evoke both tender pathos and lighthearted mirth and embody what Yeats describes
as ""the very voice of the people, the very pulse of life.""
""The impact of these tales doesn't stop with Yeats, or Joyce, or Oscar Wilde,""
writes Paul Muldoon in his Foreword, ""for generations of readers in Ireland and
throughout the world have found them flourishing like those persistent fairy
thorns."""
