Author: Andrew M. Greeley
Though the Emerald Isle is no stranger to tales of the fantastic (everything from the Hound Cuchlain to Darby O'Gill and his leprachaun friends), most of the fantasy works dealing with Ireland have limited themselves to either ancient history/Celtic legends and lore, sentimental tales of wee folk, or ghostly tales of hauntings in old deserted ca...  more »

Short stories by many authors. Some are set in modern times, some recount the Old Tales. All of them involve Irish magic in some form or another. I don't think I have read any other stories set in modern times involving leprechauns (did you know they like sushi?) and other little people. A couple of the stories involve vampires, one set in the 19th century and one today. There is a good recounting of Finn MacCool's son Oisin and Tir na Nog. In general, an interesting read.

I love Andrew Greeley, and this was NOT a book of fiction by him alone. It has several authors; and each one gives insight into the lore of Ireland.
God bless the Little people!
