Description
This collection of Irish folk and fairy tales draws on the fertile landscape of Ireland, where supernatural stories grew from Celtic legends. It brings together tales of banshees, kings, trembling farmers, tricksters and beloved princesses, presenting everyday people seeking solutions to the challenges of their time. Among the stories of hope and reckless determination are “Smallhead and the King’s Sons,” a Cinderella tale, and “The Haughty Princess,” which recalls Grimm’s “King Thrushbeard.” The Flame Tree Collector’s Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction, including the authors, myths and tales that helped make the imaginative literature of the twentieth century possible. Each book features a new introduction and a glossary of terms.
