I’ve been interested in folklore since I can remember. Irish folklore in particular, while carrying much of the same figures and stories than folklore from adjacent lands, it also quite unique. Yet, as presented here by Yeats, it turns unbelievably magic.

Particularly enchanting is to notice how much of Yeats vision of the world seeps into the pages to color every legend and tale.

Beautifully written, evocative and interesting. For those who like to read about folklore, the lore of the people, this would be a entertaining read. For those with no interest in legends of old, perhaps not the best read.
