But now, in the times of James, they had all gone, for they were of the old profession, and their songs were Ave Maries. In Ireland they are still extant, giving gifts to the kindly, and plaguing the surly. Have you ever seen a fairy or such like? I asked an old man in County Sligo. Amn't I annoyed with tbem, was the answer. Do the fishermen along here know anything of the mermaids? I asked a woman of a village in County Dublin. Indeed, they don't like to see them at all, she answered, for they always bring bad weather. Here is a man who believes in ghosts, said a foreign sea-cap tain, pointing to a pilot of my acquaintance. In every house over there, said the pilot, pointing to his native village of Rosses, there are several. Certainly that now old and much respected dogmatist, the Spirit of the Age, has in no manner made his voice heard down there. In a little while, for he has gotten a consumptive appear of late, he will be covered over decently in his grave.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland The erudite Lessing styles a preface the his tory of a book. Now, though there can be no necessity for a preface in that sense of the word to the reprint of a work of mere whim, which has been nearly ten years before the public, yet a few words are requisite to prevent the present con doused and revised edition from being considered an abridgment. However compact may be the mode of printing adopted, the act of compressing into one volume the three in which the Fairy Legends origi nally appeared, involved to a certain extent the necessity of selection, perhaps the most difficult of all tasks judiciously to perform but the follow ing statement will show the system proceeded on.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Irish Fairy Book An even more terrible churchyard demon is the beautiful phan tom that waylays the widower at his wife's very tomb and poisons him by her kiss when he has yielded to her blandishments. Of monsters the Irish had, and still believe in, the Piast (latin bestia), a huge dragon or serpent confined to lakes by St. Patrick till the day of judgment, but still occasionally seen in their waters. In Fenian times the days of Firm and his companion knights, the Piast, however, roamed the country, devouring men and women and cattle in large numbers, and some of the early heroes are recorded to have been swallowed alive by them and then to have hewed their way out of their entrails. The Merrow, or Mermaid, is also still believed in, and many Folk Tales exist describing their intermarriage with mortals.

Book excerpt: In this study, which is first of all a folk-lore study, we pursue principally an anthropo-psychological method of interpreting the Celtic belief in fairies, though we do not hesitate now and then to call in the aid of philology; and we make good use of the evidence offered by mythologies, religions, metaphysics, and physical sciences.
Download or read book Irish Fairy Tales written by James Stephens and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-02 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS CLASSIC WORK IS REFORMATTED AND CAREFULLY REPRODUCED. Because of the enlarged size, each letter takes about four times (4x) the surface a font character takes in a normal print book. It was not reproduced in a hurry from an old photocopy. Some reviews that may appear on Amazon reflect other editions of this book. To avoid buying a poor quality classic, always inspect its sample pages once they are available on Amazon.com. In case they do not appear initially, wait for a up to three days and they will. If they are still unavailable, consider buying a different book that offers a preview.Another sign to look for is "full justification" of lines: all the lines in a paragraph must have the same length, except for the last one, like the text columns in a newspaper. If they have a "rugged" look, the printing is bellow par. However, some people prefer the rugged look. Just make sure you know what you are buying. Finally, words at the end of sentences are rarely hyphened in this version. It is nearly hyphenation free.The book is printed with an extra large font and special spacing to make it easy to read.With humor and intelligence, Irish author James Stephens (1882-1950) retold folk stories and created new myths on old traditions. He is considered a member of the "Celtic Revival" movement. Stephens stood at four feet and ten inches height but he was very athletic and to this day, his spirit soars with the legends he bequeathed us.
