This anthology draws upon the rich tradition of Celtic mythology and folklore, featuring tales from Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Each story embodies a unique charm, weaving together elements of adventure, romance, and the supernatural, showcasing the rich tapestry of Celtic imagination. The opening of the collection presents a glimpse into the thoughtful selection process by Jacobs, who aims to present stories representative of the Celtic tradition. He expresses his intention to include humor and romance while cautioning against the over-familiar tropes commonly found in fairy tales. The volume begins with "Connla and the Fairy Maiden," a tale about Connla, son of a king, who encounters a mysterious fairy maiden and is torn between the mundane world and the enchanting realm she offers. This sets the stage for a series of engaging tales filled with magic, bravery, and the eternal struggle between different worlds.
