Excerpt from More Celtic Fairy Tales In the present volume I have proceeded on much the same lines as those which I laid down for myself in compiling its predecessor. In making my selection I have attempted to select the tales common both to Erin and Alba. I have included, as specimen of the Irish mediaeval hero tales, one of the three sorrowful tales of Erin: The Tale of the Children of Lir. For the drolls or comic relief of the volume, I have again drawn upon the inexhaustible Kennedy, while the great J. F. Campbell still stands out as the most prominent figure in the history of the Celtic Fairy Tale. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
