Edited by Joseph A. Greenleaf of Malin Head, Co Donegal, all of the original flavour and character of the stories remain, ready to be read to your children and grandchildren.

So, light the turf fire, fill your glass, pull up some wee creepie stools and read Donegal Fairy Stories. The years will fall away, and you'll be flying over the castle walls, nine miles high!
