Meet a few of the many legendary figures you'll find inside:


The Giant’s Causeway In the north of Ireland lived the foster mother of the legendary hero Finn Mac Cumhaill. Years before, Finn had eaten a magical salmon and earned the gift of divine inspiration.	The Brownie of Ferne Den "Hundreds of years ago, humans were much more aware of brownies, creatures who are not goblins or trolls, but ones who help those keep their memories alive." This tale is the story of such a being.	Katherine Crackernuts Once upon a time there was a beautiful and kind-hearted young princess named Velvet Cheeks. Her father, the king, loved her very much. However, he dearly wanted his daughter to have a sister to play with and a mother to love. His wife had passed away some years before, and the time had come for him to remarry.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Christopher's interest in folklore and mythology began at a very young age when his mother first read the stories of the Mabinogion, Edda's, the Irish Mythological Cycle, and various collections of folk tales. Over the years, his passion for the subject matter deepened, which resulted in his authorship of articles online and in magazines. His deep interest in folkways is buttressed with an educational background in psychology and history.

Super awesome, wee creepy. Kids 5+

I was born at the tail end of the latchkey kid era. My childhood stories and shows were incredibly dark and in hindsight definitely not age appropriate. Probably. This is important because in remembering the stories of my youth, I thought this was an okay book to buy my four-year-old. I was mistaken. The stories are well-written and the illustrations are fantastic. I actually have nothing but wonderful things to say about the book. This is just a heads up to anyone buying this for kids, the child needs to have a fairly good attention span and be into creepy stuff. I still have it on her bookshelf, but I think I need to wait a year before I try and again with my child.

This is really one of the best books I've ever read for my daughter. I love the questions that have at the end of each story because it has teached my daughter some good lessons that she can apply later on in her life.

I found this book very entertaining and plan on passing it to my son so he may also enjoy it. One of the best things about it is the questions to ponder after each tale, they really make you think! Love a book that can give someone different ways to think about things!!

Love the Art and the Stories

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2020

Fairies, etins, elves, giants, pixies, sprites, selkies, and the occasional Celtic god make this fun dip into the Celtic mythos. The artwork has a touch of Picassoesque distortion that draws you into the images to try to understand their odd proportions, but I enjoyed the color, whimsy, and abstraction of almost all the pictures. The tales are varied and touch upon how the world of the fae touches and transforms our world. The magic of ordinary items, the possibility of transcending time, the fragility of our connections to the world of magic, and the excitement enchantment brings to the world is all there to behold.

The writing did not bother me, but I am a professor so complex constructs rarely deter me from getting the message. I read the work aloud to my son and at times had to pause to pick up the rhythm of the text, but upon reflection, I could make it flow. The stories are fun. The end of story questions try to make the magical world relate to our own, but they fail as often as they succeed. The best solution to their clunkiness is to come up with your own questions.

I enjoyed the stories and found tons of interesting material with which to engage my seven-year-old. I hope there will be more books in this series and look forward to the fantastic artwork and smoother reading.
