Specifics:
A reprint of the 1910 illustrated classic by Ella Young. ISBN 978-1-907256-36-2    

From
childhood we listen to tales of ghosts, banshees, haunted castles and
mischievous sprites. But it is not until you immerse yourself in Gaelic
literature that you realise what a heritage awaits, for Celtic
folklore overflows with vivid stories that fire the imagination.

This is a
wonderful, enchanting collection of 12 Celtic and magical tales from Ella
Young. Children aged 7-12 years old will be enchanted by the magical,
mysterious stories. Tales of the Earth Shapers, Eric-Fine of Lugh, Inisfail,
the classic Children of Lir, the Spear of Victory and more. So don’t be
surprised if when you think you have finished reciting a tale from this book
that you feel a tug at your sleeve and have a request for another; and the
child within you will be only too happy to read on.

So
take some time out and travel back to yesteryear, to a period before television
and radio, a time when families would gather around a crackling and spitting
hearth and granddad or grandma or uncle or auntie would delight and captivate the
gathering with stories passed on to them from their parents and grandparents
from time immemorial.
