Great Classic Stories in a Beautiful Book
Nice book with nicely designed front cover. Nice art work with each story. I've only just begun to read one of the stories. Yeats is a revered Irish, poet, dramatist and writer. The stories in this book reflect his talent.Great

Distened ta be a coffee table book
If ye been wantin ta speak with an Irish accent, ther are many opportunities in this lovely book to lern. Read them ou loud fer ereryone ta hear, and ye'll be havin an eventful evenin wit ye company. Th' book evn as a hors shoe ta remind ya not to lay th' book face-down. A warnin ta parints tho, some stories may be too spiritu-ally advanced fer youngins.

coffee table book
I brought this book as I have just moved to Ireland and I was interested in their folk lore. To me it is a book you leave on the coffee table just to pick up and read while relaxing as you can can just pick out any story. It is well put together and being hard back looks good left out on the table
