Sinéad de Valera’s Irish Fairy Stories are a charming blend of folklore, imagination, written with the intent of keeping Ireland’s oral traditions alive for younger generations. They combine enchantment with moral lessons, reflecting both the Celtic Revival spirit and her own background as a teacher and folklorist.
