Items related to Fairy and Folk Tales of Ireland
The leprechaun is one of the iconic symbols of Ireland. But for all the fantastical creature's popularity, the folk tales fromwhich he emerged are largely unknown. In this anthology the masterful poet W. B. Yeats has collected and collated the enthralling stories of the Irish peasantry. They have been carefully divided into categories ranging from ghost stories to tales of the devil to stories of witches and fairy doctors. The stories are just as moving as his poetry.

About the Author:
The Book of Fairy and Folk Tales of Ireland compiled by W.B. Yeats from various sources, is bursting with tall tales of fairy folk and their ways.
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was a poet, writer, and one of the mainstays of the British and Irish literary scenes. In 1923 he became the first Irishman awarded the Nobel Prize. He spent two terms serving as a senator in Ireland and, as an Irish nationalist, he spent a brieftime in the Irish Republican Brotherhood. He distanced himself from the movement before the Easter Rising of 1916, choosing instead to focus on his literary pursuits.
