I consider this book to be one of the treasures I brought back from my trip to Ireland. I mean, the land is rife with historical and mythical stories, including faeries, which is a genre that dominates books now.

An excellently illustrated compilation of Celtic folklore. The organization and writing make it simple and easy to digest, while still captivating. Perfect for the younger or less informed audience making their first steps into Celtic mythology!
