Fairy Tales & Folklore

Authors: Bob Curran
Print type: BOOK

Description:

"Nowadays, there is a renewed interest in and appreciation of what, for a time, were considered naive or quaint beliefs. Featuring giants and demons, monsters and sprites, witches, wise women and wizards, land and sea fairies, the stories from the people of the Celtic lands present a rich diversity of image and character. It is the explanation and celebration of those wondrously strange creatures and entities that inspire the writing and lecture work of Dr. Bob Curran. In the pages of this book, he not only provides a full historical, cultural and geographical backdrop to the inhabitants of these ever-powerful myths, but also retells selected tales from each tradition, bringing to life each archetype in a vivid, authentic and entertaining way."--Book jacket flap.
