Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
A rich mix of the eerie and the amusing make up the 10 selections in O'Griofa's collection. Banshees, witches, and other supernatural folk people many of these ethereal tales. In the story "Donald and His Neighbors" (whose authorship is cited only as Traditional), which reads like a classic Irish joke, Donald repeatedly outfoxes his greedy, malevolent neighbors until they jump to their doom in pursuit of riches. O'Griofa gives background on the Celtic authors in the opening remarks. Among them are W. B. Yeats, George Moore, and Charlotte Riddell. Denise Perry Donavin
