Excerpt from Tales of the Fairies: And of the Ghost World; Collected From Oral Tradition in South-West Munster Mr. Jeremiah Curtin needs no introduction to the lovers of Gaelic lore and legend. By the publication of his two volumes, Myths and Folk-Lore of Ireland (Boston: Little, Brown & Co.; London: S. Low Co., 1890) and Hero Tales of Ireland (Boston: Little, Brown & Co., 1894), as well as of the large collection which, as yet, has only appeared in the Sunday edition of The Sun (New York), he has approved himself the foremost collector of Irish oral literature, and has brought together an amount of material which, for intrinsic interest, holds its own by the side of Campbell of Islay's Popular Tales of the West Highlands. The present collection supplements the two I have just cited. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
