Summary

More Celtic Fairy Tales is part of a series written by the Australian born folklorist Joseph Jacobs. In this book feature over two dozen stories taken from popular oral tradition and united with John D. Batten's black and white drawings, full of movement and energy. Stories include: "The Fate of the Children of Lir," "Jack the Cunning Thief," "Morraha," "The Farmer of Liddesdale," "The Legend of Knockgrafton," "How Cormac Mac Art went to Faery" and many others. Heavily influenced by the Brothers Grimm and the romantic nationalism ubiquitous in his contemporary folklorists, Jacobs was responsible for introducing English fairy tales to English children, who had previously chiefly enjoyed those derived from French and German folklore
