Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:30 beguiling stories of sprites, wraiths, and specters appear here, as they were told to a Smithsonian Institution ethnographer in rural 19th-century Ireland. Stories include "Tom Connors and the Dead Girl," "Maurice Griffin and the Fairy Doctor," "The Ghost of Sneem," "Tom Moore and the Seal Woman," "The Blood-Drawing Ghost," and many more. Not only a valuable resource for students of anthropology and aficionados of Celtic lore, but also hours of enchantment for all lovers of folk tales. Synopsis:One of the foremost authorities on Irish folklore, Jeremiah Curtin was remarkably successful in documenting and recording tales of fairies and ghosts told by the Irish over the centuries. This volume contains 30 beguiling stories of supernatural beings, departed spirits, and other apparitions — some of which prefer to have little or nothing to do with humans, while others thoroughly delight in tormenting the living. A young man's unusual confrontations with spectral beings is recounted in "Daniel Crowley and the Ghosts", while "Fairies of Rahonain and Elizabeth Shea" tells of a phantom that comes and goes on earth, punishing her neglectful kinsfolk in true ghostly fashion. Other tales include "Tom Connors and the Dead Girl", "Maurice Griffin and the Fairy Doctor", "The Ghost of Sneem", "Tom Moore and the Seal Woman", and "The Blood-Drawing Ghost".
