This review is from: Elves and Heroes (Kindle Edition)
Can I just say that I'm really glad the fad of writing fairy tales as poems died out over a hundred years ago? I mean, these weren't bad, and I don't mind occasionally reading poetry, but I just can't see it as being that exciting, and I'm overjoyed that the market isn't flooded with these things.
I did get an extra kick of amusement out of these by having my kindle's read-to-me program read them to me. The kindle has rather a flair for poetry, although I felt it missed the proper emphasis on some of the lines. This book contains a bunch of fairy tales or epics rewritten in verse. There is no active Table of Contents and the footnotes are unlinked, but there are no other formatting errors. Contains the following poems: The Wee Folk Bonnach Fallaidh The Banshee Conn, Son of the Red The Blue Men of the Minch The Urisk The Nimble Men My Gunna The Gruagach The Little Old Man of the Barn Yon Fairy Dog The Water-Horse My Fairy Lover The Fians of Knockfarrel Her Evil Eye A Cursing Leobag's Warning Tober Mhuire Sleepy Song Song of the Sea The Death of Cuchullin Lost Songs Other Poems Free Will Strife Sonnet "Out of the Mouths of Babes" (which is about a dead baby, and not a really great note to end on) |
