Review: Quaint
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 11 16, 2013
The ethnocentric use of the story tellers 'quaint' Irish accent makes this book difficult to read, and makes it seem like the story teller is an illiterate boor. There are many far better books of Irish tales out there, and it is strongly recommended that you read one of those instead.If you are determined to read it you'll probably be happy to know that there's an active table of contents, but disappointed to discover there are no illustrations.Contains the Following Stories:PrefaceThe Seven Kings of AthenryTaming the PookaThe Sexton of CashelSatan's Cloven HoofThe Enchanted IslandHow the Lakes Were MadeAbout the FairiesThe BansheeThe Round TowersThe PoliceThe LeprechawnThe Henpecked GiantSatan as a SculptorThe Defeat of the Widows
