The majority of the tales presented in "Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry" were collected in the nineteenth century by such folklorists as William Allingham, T. Crofton Croker, Douglas Hyde, and Lady Wilde who was the mother of Oscar Wilde. The book transports its readers to the shadowy, twilit world of Celtic myth and legend. There, the mysterious fairy people work their mischief, priests and the devil wage an endless struggle for the souls of humankind, clever wives outwit murderous giants and druids cast spells.

Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry "Up the airy mountain, Down the rushy glen, We daren't go a-hunting For fear of little men; Wee folk, good folk, Trooping all together; Green jacket, red cap, And white owl's feather!Down along the rocky shore Some make their home, They live on crispy pancakes Of yellow tide-foam; Some in the reeds Of the black mountain lake, With frogs for their watch-dogs All night awake.High on the hill-top The old King sits; He is now so old and gray He's nigh lost his wits. With a bridge of white mist Columbkill he crosses, On his stately journeys From Slieveleague to Rosses; Or going up with music On cold starry nights, To sup with the Queen Of the gay Northern Lights." Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry has a beautiful glossy cover and a blank page for the dedication.

This is an anthology of Irish folklore, edited by W. B. Yeats. Many of these stories are from books which are archived at this site; some are from books which have yet to be converted to etext or now-rare source material. He selected many of the best (and often funniest) tales from other writers such as Lady Wilde, Croker, Lover, Hyde, and Carelton. Yeats wrote introductory material and notes to many of these stories.

William Butler Yeats (see quote below) declares that old women in Ireland "will not so readily be got to talk" of the fairies and the various other mysterious beings who inhabit the Emerald Isle. Mrs. O'Brian, however, is no such woman. She admonishes her son John and his wife Kitty not to despair nor flee to "the States" - as others have done - for those very beings will see them through. And so, she begins her series of tales that John and Kitty must keep in their heart and pass on to their children. ---------------------The old women are most learned, but will not so readily be got to talk, for the fairies are very secretive, and much resent being talked of . . . -Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry, by William Butler YeatsUp the airy mountain, Down the rushy glen, We daren't go a-hunting For fear of little men;Wee folk, good folk, Trooping all together;Green jacket, red cap, And white owl's feather! -from "The Fairies" by William Allingham

Excerpt from Irish Fairy Tales: Edited With an Introduction AM often doubted when I say that the Irish peasantry still believe in fairies. People think I am merely trying to bring back a little of the old dead beautiful world of romance into this century of great engines and spinning-jinnies. Surely the hum of wheels and clatter of printing presses, to let alone the lecturers with their black coats and tumblers of water, have driven away the goblin kingdom and made.

Irish Fairy Tales is a retelling of ten Irish folktales by the Irish author James Stephens. The English illustrator Arthur Rackham provided interior artwork, including numerous black and white illustrations and sixteen color plates. The stories are set in a wooded, Medieval Ireland filled with larger-than-life hunters, warriors, kings, and fairies. Many stories concern the Fianna and their captain, Fionn mac Uail, from the Fenian Cycle of Irish mythology.
