Description
A magical anthology of 16 ancient fairy tales from the timeless oral traditions of Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Meet giants, fairies, dragons, witches, heroic characters, and enchanted creatures. Includes the Welsh tales of ‘The Sorceress and the Poet’ and ‘The Red Dragon’; the Irish stories of ‘The Twelve Wild Geese’ and ‘King Cormac and the Golden Apples’; and the Scottish tales of ‘The Bogle of the Murky Well’ and ‘Kate Crackernuts’. Re-told in English and with useful contextual notes; the tales are based upon the earliest written sources available, mixing both medieval sources and 19th century collections transcribed by dedicated folklorists. Presented in a compact hardback edition, the stories are illustrated by colour and black-and-white plates from a range of editions, including acclaimed artists Arthur Rackham (1867-1939), Warwick Goble (1862-1943), Walter Crane (1845-1915), and Harry George Theaker (1873-1954).
