A History of Irish Fairies.
Author: WHITE, Carolyn.
“In A History of Irish Fairies we find all the magic of the `wee people’.
The author deals with their important place in country folklore and tells us of their mannerisms, clothing, food and love-lives.
The book contains such interesting details as the distinction and confusion between cluricaun and leprechaun and the fact that only male infants are stolen from the cradle. You can read all about the Far Darrig, Merrows and Silkies, Banshees and Keening, the Lianhan Shee, Pookas, Dullahans and Ghosts.
A large part of this book is concerned with the relations between mortals and fairies, so that the reader may determine the best way to behave whenever he encounters a fairy.”
