Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Local Legends The collecting and preservation of F olk-lore Tales have engaged the attention and interest of many national writers, especially during the present century. Such compositions have been presented in all known languages, while they have an undoubted ethnological value in historical and romantic literature. Fantastical or visionary though the topics may appear to be, still their record is pleasing to the imagination, and even inviting to philo sophic reﬂection. Let not our readers suppose that fables are solely based on idealism. Subjectively to our ancestors, several were realistic; while objectively, their themes are frequently traced from, if not found Within, the domain of fact. This is more especially true of many Irish Local Legends. Their original forms have under gone various changes during the lapse of time. Popular and oral narrative often becomes an alembic of trans mission, which serves to draw forth their spirit and essence, while ﬂavoured or coloured with fantasy and invention, to supply the loss of historic or traditional incidents.

Popular and oral narrative often becomes an alembic of transmission, which serves to draw forth their spirit and essence, while flavoured or coloured with fantasy and invention, to supply the loss of historic or traditional incidents. However, the term Legend has an application to narratives and relations, not even remotely bordering on romance; and therefore, in connection with the subject matter of the present little work are introduced themes only intended to revive some reminiscences of customs and incidents, that are fast fading from a knowledge of the present generation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends and Stories Ireland Though the sources whence these stories are derived are open to every one, yet chance or choice may prevent thousands from making such sources available; and though the village crone and mountain guide have many hearers, still their circle is so circumscribed, that most of what I have ventured to lay before my readers, is, for the first time, made tangible to the greater portion of those who do me the favour to become such. In one story alone - "Paddy the Piper" - I have no claim to authorship, and this I take the earliest opportunity of declaring, and as I have entered upon my confessions, it is, perhaps, equally fair to state that although most of the tales are authentic, there is one purely my invention, namely, "The Gridiron."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland The erudite Lessing styles a preface the his tory of a book. Now, though there can be no necessity for a preface in that sense of the word to the reprint of a work of mere whim, which has been nearly ten years before the public, yet a few words are requisite to prevent the present con doused and revised edition from being considered an abridgment. However compact may be the mode of printing adopted, the act of compressing into one volume the three in which the Fairy Legends origi nally appeared, involved to a certain extent the necessity of selection, perhaps the most difficult of all tasks judiciously to perform but the follow ing statement will show the system proceeded on.

The folk-lore tale has had its origin among plain, artless people, in many respects only grown up children, and its survival to our times is simply evidence of these people having regarded it as being too excellent for them to allow it to be lost.

This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms, and Superstitions of Ireland, Vol. 2 There are no traces in Irish legend of animal worship, but many concerning the influence of animals upon human life, and of their interference with human affairs. The peasants believe that the domestic animals know all about us, especially the dog and the cat. They listen to everything that is said; they watch the expression of the face: and can even read the thoughts. The Irish say it is not safe to ask a question of a dog, for he may answer, and should he do so the questioner will surely die. The position of the animal race in the life scheme is certainly full of mystery. Gifted with extraordinary intelligence, yet with dumb souls vainly struggling for utterance, they seem like prisoned spirits in bondage, suffering the punishment, perhaps, for sin in some former human life, and now waiting the completion of the cycle of expiation that will advance them again to the human state. The three most ancient words in the Irish language are, it is said, Tor, a tower; Cu, a bound, and Bo, a cow. The latter word is the same as is found in the Greek Bosphorus, and in the nomenclature of many places throughout Europe.

But with increasing numbers came the necessity of dispersion; and that ceaseless migration was commenced of the tribes of the earth from the Eastern cradle of their race which has now continued for thousands of years with undiminished activity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developed from an early oral storytelling tradition dating back to the dawn of European culture, this is one of the oldest and most vibrant of Europe's mythologies. From all six Celtic cultures - Irish, Scots, Welsh, Cornish, Manx and Breton - Peter Berresford Ellishas included popular myths and legends, as well as bringing to light exciting new tales which have been lying in manuscript form, untranslated and unknown to the modern general reader. The author brings not only his extensive knowledge of source material but also his acclaimed skills of storytelling to produce an original, enthralling and definitive collection of Celtic myths and legends - tales of gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines, magical weapons, fabulous beasts, and entities from the ancient Celtic world.
