Beschreibung
Fairies, sprites, wyverns, witches, and giants. Dangerous tasks, true love, and animals that speak human language. ***** These legends and stories from Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, and Wales will transport you to a fantastic world of Celtic folklore. You will find wisdom and magic, cruel fate and justice that ultimately punishes every sinner. You will meet a kind witch who can predict the future, as well as an evil witch who transforms poor young men into fish and then feasts on them. ***** You will visit kind sprites who are happy to help mortals and will risk their lives for them without hesitation, as well as the wicked ones who only torment humans and play with them. You will encounter a peculiar merman who keeps the souls of drowned sailors in cages at the bottom of the ocean, and beings called selkies, which an inattentive hunter can easily mistake for seals. You will witness heroic battles with a giant, a sea serpent, or a wyvern. ***** The book is adorned with many beautiful color illustrations by British painter Kate Forrester.
