Irish Folktales (Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library)

Description

From Library Journal This latest volume of an already distinguished series maintains and even exceeds the high standards of the previous ones. The texts are taken from published and unpublished sources of the past 200 years and include those Glassie collected himself. They reveal the deep humanity of the Irish people; the commentary and notes reveal the humanity of Glassie. While many folktale collections aimed at a general audience are not useful to folklorists because they lack accuracy, this one will be welcomed. General readers will undoubtedly appreciate Glassie's ability to illuminate subtly the ``storyteller's art.'' Very highly recommended. David S. Azzolina, Johns Hopkins Univ.
