Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Step into the green heart of Ireland, where mist drifts over hills once walked by saints, and the air still hums with the music of myth. Tales From The Land of Saints & Scholars gathers together a vibrant collection of Irish folktales, fairy tales, myths, and legends, stories first told by firelight in cottages and crossroads, to teach, to enchant, and to remember.This new, revised and adapted fourth edition celebrates the brilliance and depth of Ireland's storytelling tradition. Within these pages you'll meet wise fools and fearless queens, poets and warriors, shapeshifters, spirits, and the bright, capricious folk of the Otherworld. These are tales steeped in landscape and language, shaped by laughter and loss, and bound by a timeless sense of wonder. Some are fierce, others tender, but all are alive with the rhythm of Ireland itself.In these Irish tales you can hear the shared song of humanity, the same longings, fears, and hopes that echo through every culture's oldest stories. Tales From The Land of Saints & Scholars reminds us that storytelling is both inheritance and an act of faith, a way of keeping memory bright in a darkening world. Open the book, and let the voices of Ireland speak once more across time and tide.
