The book delves into the rich tapestry of fairy lore, dwarfish races, and ancient traditions tied to the culture of Ulster, particularly focusing on their historical and anthropological significance. The author aims to gather and analyze these stories, shedding light on how they relate to the lives and beliefs of the Irish people, as well as the remnants of ancient civilizations. The opening of "Ulster Folklore" sets the stage for an exploration of fairy lore, specifically connecting the traditional beliefs surrounding fairies to the existence of ancient dwarf races. Andrews recounts her inspiration from a presentation on pygmies, ultimately leading her to collect various local tales about well-known "wee folk." She introduces the notion that fairies, often depicted as small beings with various supernatural attributes, share similarities with historical races like the Grogachs, Pechts, and Danes. As the narrative unfolds, readers are invited to consider these tales not merely as whimsical stories but as echoes of Ireland's prehistoric past, where cultural identity and folklore intertwine.
