More Celtic Fairy Tales
Paperback
(Forgotten Books June 19, 2012)
Excerpt from More Celtic Fairy Tales
In the present volume I have proceeded on much the same lines as those which I laid down for myself in compiling its predecessor. In making my selection I have attempted to select the tales common both to Erin and Alba. I have included, as specimen of the Irish mediaeval hero tales, one of the three sorrowful tales of Erin: The Tale of the Children of Lir. For the drolls or comic relief of the volume, I have again drawn upon the inexhaustible Kennedy, while the great J. F. Campbell still stands out as the most prominent figure in the history of the Celtic Fairy Tale.
