How do you feel about the Irish Folklore that WB Yeats put together?
I've read those. I think they are fantastic reads, tho extremely fancifull.
Really not much to do with Druids or anything. Lots of Irishmen besting the devil though. Banshees, Pukka's, Merrows....that kind of stuff.


Again, they're very purified as one would expect for the time. Lots of details missed out that may have offended at the time.

The tales are still amazing, though!


I have a copy of Gods and Fighting Men by Lady Gregory; also the Celtic Twilight by WB Yeats. I still have the receipt inside one of them - bought in June 2002 at the wonderful Writer's Museum on Parnell Street, Dublin.

(PS: Have given the eyebrows a good tweezering since reading your post yesterday)
