Five Irish Tales is a collection of five stories set in the Irish countryside, each one rooted in the old folklore that was once told around the fire on long winter nights.
These are stories of quiet villages, lonely roads and old stone walls, of fairy forts and hawthorn trees, and of the beliefs that people in rural Ireland held onto for generations. Some of those beliefs were laughed off in daylight. Very few were laughed off after dark.
Each tale stands on its own, but they share the same feeling: that the past is never quite finished, that a bargain can cost more than anyone expects, and that some warnings are given for a very good reason.
Some of the stories are eerie, while others are lighter and more gentle, but all of them are drawn from the customs, superstitions and legends that were once part of everyday life in Ireland.
The five stories are: The Leprechaun's Luck, Three Whistles, The Mill at Moonrise, Abhartach and The Banshee of Carrigmore.
Illustrated throughout, this book is for anyone who enjoys Irish folklore, ghost stories and a good old-fashioned tale.
