Emerging from a people with an absolute belief in `the little folk', the fairy tales of Ireland are part of one of the richest folk literatures in the world. Many of Ireland's finest writers, inspired by the work of folklorists like the Brothers Grimm, have created masterly retellings of traditional stories from their own homeland. In this wonderful collection of stories by writers like Carleton, Yeats, and Lady Wilde, a legion of fairy folk - giants, leprechauns, witches, and mermaids - help, hinder, charm, and terrify their mortal neighbors.
