Irish Fairy Tales by Padraic O'Farrell

I must admit to being disappointed with this collection. Ireland has a rich tradition of storytelling about the interaction of humans and the sidhe (fairies) but in this collection O'Farrell has managed to make some of these stories dull and boring. Concentrating mainly on stories from the Eighteenth- Nineteenth centuries there are some stories of interest. Unfortunately I was left unsatisfied by most.
