This is a book of Irish Folk Tales. With any anthology, there are going to be some things you prefer to others. The same with this book of folk stories, tales and legends with Irish roots.

The author brings a lot of stories that I had not come across before, some more interesting than others. Well written and easy to sit and read the odd one, two or a few of an evening.

Good collection dealing with various things from Irish folktales and one I would be happy to recommend.

Some good yarns

Quite an interesting and entertaining book that can be read over time. Some delightful stories with a truly Irish flavour and humour.

Good collection of stories. I retell some of the stories in a simple way to my 7 years old boy .

Some good.Some bad

A ramshackle of takes and events interspersed with unneeded commentary. I found this a little disappointing in itself but not overly bad
