Irish Tales of the Fairies and the Ghost World

30 beguiling stories of sprites, wraiths, and specters appear here, as they were told to a Smithsonian Institution ethnographer in rural 19th-century Ireland. Stories include "Tom Connors and the Dead Girl," "Maurice Griffin and the Fairy Doctor," "The Ghost of Sneem," "Tom Moore and the Seal Woman," "The Blood-Drawing Ghost," and many more. Not only a valuable resource for students of anthropology and aficionados of Celtic lore, but also hours of enchantment for all lovers of folk tales.Curtin, Jeremiah is the author of 'Irish Tales of the Fairies and the Ghost World' with ISBN 9780486411392 and ISBN 0486411397.
