Joseph Jacobs, 2018
This collection features ancient Irish tales compiled by the renowned folklorist Joseph Jacobs. Passed down orally since the 11th century, these stories range from amusing and cunning to mysterious and magical. The tales are populated by Celtic characters who embody a spectrum of human traits, including intelligence, foolishness, kindness, malice, greed, and generosity. Echoes of future European and Russian folklore, such as tales of the Bremen Town Musicians, Cinderella, and the Firebird, can be found within these narratives, where good ultimately triumphs over evil.
