About this ebook

An ethereal collection of long-lost fairy tales and folk stories from Ireland, collated and edited by one of the most sensational Irish poets, W. B. Yeats.

This anthology of Irish myths and folklore was first published in 1892 after being carefully collated by W. B. Yeats. The prolific poet had a deep interest in the folkloric history of his country and dedicated part of his career to editing traditional fairy tales and translating them from the original Irish.
