Jeremiah Curtin 
Myths and Folklore of Ireland [EPUB ebook] 

In ‘Myths and Folklore of Ireland’ Jeremiah Curtin compiles twenty folk tales representing hundreds of years of the collective Irish imagination that transport readers to a world where everything is alive and anything can happen! Vivid descriptions of battles with giants, dead men who come back to life, humans imprisoned in animals’ bodies, heroes with incredible strength, and more.
Taken down from Gaelic story tellers, these 20 tales fall into two parts: 11 are miscellaneous stories offering Irish versions of the general European fairy tales, and 9 are stories from the Fenian cycle–tales of Fin Mac Cumhail and his warriors, the Fenians of Erin.
