Celtic Wonder Tales: Other Stories

"From childhood I heard tales of ghosts, banshees, haunted castles, mischievous and friendly sprites, snatches of ballads, and political arguments.... It was not until I came to Dublin that I realized what a heritage waited for me in Celtic literature. I read every translation I could get, learned Irish, and betook myself to Gaelic Ireland where, by turf fires, I could hear the poems of the Fianna recited by folk who had themselves heard the faery music and had danced in faery circles." This combined collection of wonderful tales from Ella Young’s classic retelling of Celtic stories has been selected from her Celtic Wonder Tales, The Wonder Smith and His Son, The Tangle-Coated Horse, and The Unicorn with Silver Shoes.
