Celtic Folk and Fairy Tales par Joseph Jacobs
Skill levels among the readers varied widely, generally stripping the stories of their intended humor or romance.
½This is NOT written as a children's book. The language in this book is written in Old English and reads more like a Shakepearean sonnet. I bought this to add to my young son's library, but it is not appropriate for that. I'm sure however that adults who can read Old English with ease would find this book entertaining.
A sequel to Jacobs' earlier Celtic fairy tales, this time chiefly from as he says

Collection of tales from various folklore collectors --as the introduction notes, it is dependent on early scholars and includes more Irish and Scottish tales than Welsh ones because there had been more collecting of Irish and Scottish tales up to that time (though I think he may have missed the tales incorporated in Burrows' Wild Wales). There is also one tale from the extinct Cornish language. Rather nice sub-pre-Raphaelite illustrations.
I believe this was also one of the exts of the Celtic and Germanic Folklore honors calls I had at Bowling Green in about 1968-69.… (plus d'informations)
