Celtic Fairy Tales
by Joseph Jacobs
About
The fourth and final volume of Fairy Tales from the British Isles, collected by leading folklorist Joseph Jacobs. The original "Celtic Fairy Tales" collected 26 tales; this continuation of the work is numbered 27 - 46. Embodying the wonderful humor and heroism of Celtic folklore, this collection contains medieval hero tales such as the "Children of Lir", comic tales about "Paddy O'Kelly and the Weasel" and stories of Morraha, Elidore, the Black Horse and others. Originally published in 1894, the stories are lavishly illustrated by the pen-and-ink drawings of John D. Batten.
