## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    a terrific, accurately representative chrestomathy
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on 11 January 2013*

I cannot understand why folks would unfairly criticize this volume. Having delved deeply into the likes of Yeats and Graves, I can attest that the sampling of tales and legends in Glassie is _precisely_ representative of the Irish folk literature. If a reader finds the preponderance of "bar tales" (funny, I couldn't find many, but I don't frequent bars) offensive, perhaps he should choose a less alcohol-infatuated culture than the Irish: I doubt the merest mention of alcohol would grace Inea Bushnaq's collection of Arabic folktales, which is also published by Pantheon. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! Meanwhile, if you _truly_ want to be bored and offended, try reading Rolleston's archaic rendering of the myths of the Tuatha de Danann: I can't remember how many times I fell asleep despite being quite the devotee of the mythologies of world's cultures.

    Real folk tales told by real Irish folks
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on 20 January 2016*

This is a fascinating collection of folk tales told by a variety of Irish people from the late 19th to mid 20th centuries. The stories are recorded in the individuals' own words, providing insight into Irish history as far back as the early Irish kings, culture, folklore, superstitions, and even speech patterns. Some of the stories are very amusing, as well.
