The Celtic Breeze : Stories of the Otherworld from Scotland, Ireland, and Wales PDF
by McNeil Heather McNeil
Illustrated by Chien-Eriksen Nancy Chien-Eriksen
Part of the World Folklore Series series
Description
Delve into a world of kelpies, mermaids, selkies, ghosts, warlords, and fairies.
This collection gives you Celtic tales, previously unrecorded or only found in obscure compilations.
Mostly collected by the author on her ancestral home of the Isle of Barra in the Hebrides, these lesser-known tales from Scotland, Ireland, and Wales are supported by a brief history of the Celts, a glossary of the Gaelic integrated in the stories, an appendix of superstitions about fairy protection, and bibliographies that reflect the author's extensive research.
Seventeen ballads collected almost one hundred years ago and excerpts from the author's journal of travels in Scotland make this book a unique and valuable resource for anyone who tells stories.
