This is the sort of book that will set a room laughing. It’s a down to earth telling of the unearthly. My favorite story is The Banshee’s Comb, in which poor Darby is sent, on “All Sowls' night” (“whin the spirits of the dayparted dead visit once again their homes”), in the rain, to deliver tea to a banshee-visited house.

A primeira história do encontro com os Leprechauns é engraçada, mas toda a escrita em irlandês arcaico torna a leitura muito cansativa
