Consumer Critiques

Leprechauns and Irish Folklore by Mary Pope Osborne and
Natalie Pope Boyce consists of a lot of fun and interesting
facts about the Celts and the old legends of Ireland. It
addresses historical events that have affected Irish
folklore, such as how Christian monks came to Ireland and
documented several myths, how English heritage just about wiped out
Irish folklore, and how if it weren t for people like
Douglas Hyde and Lady Gregory, the impressive legends of old
might possibly have been lost. Most of all, this book tells of
fairies, all sorts of fairies, such as leprechauns and
banshees. This thoughts-boggling study guide consists of
anything from how fairies act and where they live to what
fairies like and how to avoid their mischief. Stories are
told about peoples encounters with fairies, how they can be
especially good or exceptionally hazardous. You even get to read about the
origin of Halloween in Ireland. Later, the book tells about
a magical land filled with fairies, exactly where you never ever develop up.
Finally, this book cautions that you never ever know exactly where a
fairy may be hiding!
I truly found this to be an
exceptionally intriguing book. Mary Pope Osborne and Natalie
Pope Boyce did a exceptionally superior job of explaining Irish folklore.
I never knew that there had been so quite a few sorts of fairies! It
was surprising how they fit myths, legends, and the history
of music, dancing, magic, and significantly far more all in one particular small
book! Although I discovered the content impressive, the
specifics was not properly organized. The facts were randomly
placed throughout the book.
Anybody who is interested in fairies, magic and/or old Irish
culture would enjoy this book and I would absolutely
advocate it.
