Summary: "Irish Fairy Tales" edited by W. B. Yeats is a collection of traditional Irish folk tales published in the late 19th century. This anthology celebrates the enchanting world of Irish mythology and folklore, featuring tales of fairies, goblins, and the supernatural, presenting characters like courageous heroes and mischievous spirits that capture the essence of Irish culture. The opening of the collection introduces readers to the enduring belief in fairies among the Irish peasantry, highlighting the narrator's conversation with an old woman named Biddy Hart, who recounts her vivid encounters and tales about fairies. Biddy describes the fairies as beings similar to humans but endowed with a finer nature, sharing stories of those taken by the fairies and the magical events that surround them. The narrative emphasizes the deep-rooted connection between the people and their folklore, setting the stage for the tales that follow, which promise delightful and sometimes cautionary adventures steeped in the rich tradition of Irish storytelling.
