Description
The perfect gift for anyone interested in Irish folklore. These lrish tales are reprinted from nineteenth-century sources, but they date back to a centuries-old oral tradition of storytelling that had yet to be committed to the printed page. They were passed down through the ages virtually unaltered and feature a wide variety of fantastic beings. Review: “Magical”- IG: @silver reader (Nerwen Lossëhelin) - A perfect book for an admirer of the Irish culture such as I. Review: Love it! - It's a beautiful leatherbound book with hundreds of stories and a few poems too. Worth it.

Awesome book
To be honest I didn't really know what I was buying when I got this. It's turned into an awesome miss-buy. I bought this for my newborn son thinking there would be cute nursery stories and rhymes in there. That it is not. But I've still read the entire thing and enjoyed every second of it. Must buy.

Linda edição! Contos intrigantes!
Que livro maravilhoso! É uma daquelas edições que embelezam as estantes, com capa e folhas de alta qualidade. As histórias são intrigantes! Um compilado do folclore irlandes, com grande acerso de histórias de fadas "a moda antiga" (não fadas boazinhas daquelas cunhadas por Disney ou livros infantis, mas do folclore popular antigo, que lhe atribuía características boas mas tbm ruins, personalidades as vezes caprichosas e maldosas). Vale ressaltar que é um compilado de contos do povo e múltiplos autores irlandeses. Não é um livro de "um autor". No mínimo, uma leitura muito interessante! Mas pra um quem gosto de fantasia, é muito mais que isso! Super recomendo!

Ottimo
Il libro contiene decine di storie popolari e leggende irlandesi. I racconti sono incentrati sulle creature classiche del folklore irlandese, tra cui fate, pooka e banshee, ma non solo. La copertina rigida è perfetta e le pagine sono spesse e di ottima qualità, cosigliato.
