Step beyond the familiar roads of nineteenth-century Ireland and enter a countryside where lonely hills conceal fairy dwellings, mysterious music drifts through the night, and an encounter with the supernatural may bring fortune, mischief-or death.
In Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland, Thomas Crofton Croker gathers a remarkable collection of traditional Irish tales and beliefs surrounding the hidden inhabitants of the land. Here are the mischievous Shefro and Cluricaune, the ominous Banshee, the shape-shifting Phooka, the mysterious Merrow, the terrifying Dullahan and his headless horseman, the Fir Darrig, enchanted lakes, buried treasures, haunted places, and countless mortals who discover that dealing with the fairy world is rarely without consequence.
Croker's celebrated collection helped introduce the richness of Irish folklore to an international readership. Blending humour and wonder with eerie supernatural encounters, ancient superstition, and the distinctive traditions of rural Ireland, Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland remains an essential treasury for readers fascinated by fairies, Celtic folklore, ghostly legends, and the darker mysteries of Ireland's storytelling tradition.
