A sequel to Jacobs' earlier Celtic fairy tales, this time chiefly from as he says
"Erin and Alba" -that is, Ireland and (Gaelic) Scotland. Notable for including his version of the Children of Lir. This may be another of the texts I bought for the Celtic and Germanic folklore honors class at Bowling Green, but I am less sure of it.

Wonderful compilation of two works of Scottish folklore from the early 20th century. This book makes a wonderful companion to Alexander Carmichael's "Carmina Gadelica" as the "Carmina Gadelica" has the old chants and prayers and "The Gaelic Otherworld" has how and why to they were used.
