Presented in a handsome Arcturus Gilded Classics hardback edition, this enchanting collection brings together the rich myths and legends of Ireland as gathered and compiled by W. B. Yeats. Featuring beautiful illustrations, gilded sprayed edges, patterned endpapers and luxurious ivory pages, it is both a captivating read and a stunning keepsake for any book collection.
Drawing from Ireland’s oral storytelling traditions, these timeless tales introduce readers to a world where magic and mischief exist side by side. Within these pages are stories of heroic kings, cunning priests, greedy sons, witches, demons and the mysterious good folk of Irish legend. Fairies, leprechauns and cluricauns appear throughout, bringing wonder, humour and danger to every tale.
Collected from across Ireland by historians and folklorists, including Lady Wilde, the mother of Oscar Wilde, these stories preserve the traditions and beliefs that shaped generations of Irish culture. Some tales are whimsical and charming, while others are dark and unsettling, reflecting the deep connection between folklore and everyday life. Each story offers a glimpse into a world where the supernatural is never far away and where cleverness, courage and fate often determine a person’s destiny.
Beautifully produced with a cloth-look hardback cover and striking gold embossing, this edition is perfect for readers who love mythology, fairy tales and classic literature. The gilded sprayed edges and elegant design make it a wonderful gift for collectors and anyone who appreciates beautifully crafted books.
Perfect for readers who enjoy folklore, mythology, magical fairy tales, Irish history and collectible editions filled with timeless stories passed down through generations.
