Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
In fairy tales, as in music, the romantic artistry of the Celts is in full flower. Here, retold much as they were around Celtic peat fires a hundred years ago, are enthralling tales both new and familiar. There's the romantic tale of 'Lutey and the Mermaid,' 'Duffy and the Devil,' a comic Cornish take on 'Rumpelstiltskin,' and 'The Black Cat,' a haunting version of 'Cinderella' that comes from Brittany. 20 tales are included in all, illustrated with the ornate patterns of the Celts and in striking fifth-colour gold by renowned illustrator Isabelle Brent.



Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Best Celtic Fairy Tales book, IMHO
I collect Celtic Fairy Tales. I have Jacobs, Young, and many more. Usually the books are inappropriate for very young children because of their graphic violence or too-abstract artistry. But Philip manages to take the traditional tales, and make them sound better, shorter, and less violent. And the illustrations are simply breathtaking with the gold-leaf papers and thick, gold-edged paper... the book is vaguely reminisent of the old books (e.g. Book of Kells) in that every page is illustrated in some way -- it's absolutely breathtaking. This is an excellent selection of stories as well.
