Irish Fireside Tales (1871)

Irish Fireside Tales is a collection of traditional Irish folktales and legends compiled by Robert Dwyer Joyce and originally published in 1871. The book contains over 50 stories, including tales of fairies, ghosts, witches, and other supernatural creatures. Many of the stories are set in rural Ireland and revolve around the lives of ordinary people, while others feature kings, heroes, and other mythical figures. The language used in the book reflects the dialects and idioms of the time and place in which the stories were originally told, and the tales themselves provide a fascinating glimpse into Irish culture and folklore. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Irish history, literature, or mythology, and it remains a beloved classic of Irish storytelling to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
