A Treasury of Irish Fairy and Folk Tales (Barnes & Noble Leatherbound Classic Collection)

To be honest I didn't really know what I was buying when I got this. It's turned into an awesome miss-buy. I bought this for my newborn son thinking there would be cute nursery stories and rhymes in there. That it is not. But I've still read the entire thing and enjoyed every second of it. Must buy.

Quality. A book that can be passed onto my daughter and her two children (who are 4 and 6 and have been looking at and now reading books from their own children's library). Their mom does not allow them to watch TV. Their is nothing better than a fine leather bound book with good paper and illustrations to increase the story of the author.

My 12-year old (Irish) nephew was really drawn into this book, I was surprised how well he took to it. Reading is not his strong suit, and yet, these stories and poems compelled him to keep going.

Started reading some stories while in Ireland and wanted to continue at home!

I really liked the stories/tales they are great ones! I had bought this book before at barnes and nobles but then I lost it and wanted to finish reading it so I ordered on amazon and it is great!

The book is brand new, no wear and tear signs. Very happy with my purchase. As for the content, I still have to read it.

Gorgeous books and a wealth of tales. More comprehensive than most

I saw this in Ireland and wanted to buy it but it was heavy for the suitcase (😕). I checked amazon and they had it for about $8 less!

Good read

A perfect book for an admirer of the Irish culture such as I.

Que livro maravilhoso! É uma daquelas edições que embelezam as estantes, com capa e folhas de alta qualidade. As histórias são intrigantes! Um compilado do folclore irlandes, com grande acerso de histórias de fadas "a moda antiga" (não fadas boazinhas daquelas cunhadas por Disney ou livros infantis, mas do folclore popular antigo, que lhe atribuía características boas mas tbm ruins, personalidades as vezes caprichosas e maldosas). Vale ressaltar que é um compilado de contos do povo e múltiplos autores irlandeses. Não é um livro de "um autor". No mínimo, uma leitura muito interessante! Mas pra um quem gosto de fantasia, é muito mais que isso! Super recomendo!

Il libro contiene decine di storie popolari e leggende irlandesi. I racconti sono incentrati sulle creature classiche del folklore irlandese, tra cui fate, pooka e banshee, ma non solo. La copertina rigida è perfetta e le pagine sono spesse e di ottima qualità, cosigliato.

Comes sealed in plastic. Cover a lovely green with gold and silver stamping. Gold gilded pages with ribbon page holder. Lovely gift to give. I have yet to read it, but also bought one for myself.
