Compiled at the height of the Celtic Twilight, a movement to revive the myths and traditions of Ancient Ireland, Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry captures a wide range of stories, songs, poems, and firsthand accounts from artists and storytellers dedicated to the preservation of Irish culture. In “Frank Martin and the Fairies,” a sickly man discusses the presence of dozens of fairies inside his weaving shop. When a child in his village falls ill, he claims to have seen the fairies building a small, simple coffin, preparing to convey the poor youth from the world of men to their own, shadowy realm. “Bewitched Butter,” a tale from Donegal, recounts a strange event involving two farming families and a prized Kerry cow. When the young Grace Dogherty arrives on the Hanlon’s doorstep asking to milk their cow, Mrs. Hanlon initially refuses her. But after several entreaties, the matriarch relents, allowing the girl to take some of the Kerry cow’s milk. When Moiley stops producing milk, the Hanlon’s fear that Grace has cast an evil eye on the cow, thereby threatening their livelihood. Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry compiles numerous tales of giants, gods, devils, kings and heroes, preserving the legends of Ireland’s past, an age threatened with erasure by science, reason, and modern industrialization. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of W.B. Yeats’s Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Butler YEATS (1865-1939), son of J.B. Yeats and brother of Jack Yeats, both celebrated painters, was born in Dublin and educated at the Godolphin School, Hammer-smith, and the High School of Art in Dublin, where he developed an interest in mystic religion and supernatural. He was friend of mystical writer George Russell and became a member of the Dublin Hermetic Society. At 21 he abandoned art as a profession in favour of literature, writing "John Sherman and Dhoya" (1891). Yeats�s early study of Irish lore and legends resulted in "Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry" (1888), "The Celtic Twilight" (1893), and "The Secret Rose" (1897). With each succeeding collections of poems, Yeats moved further from the elaborate Pre-Raphaelite style of the 1890s. From 1922 to 1928, he served as a senator of the Irish Free State and was chairman of the commission on coinage. In 1923 he received the Nobel Prize for literature. He died in south of France, but in 1948 his body was brought back to Ireland and interred at Drumcliff in Sligo, where much of his childhood had been spent.
