Neil Philip: Celtic Fairy Tales, illustrated by Isabelle Brent (Second Hand)

The Celts are among the greatest storytellers in the world, and this volume collects some of the finest tales once told around the Celtic hearthside - a cornucopia of wonder and delight. Besides generous selections from Ireland and Scotland, there are stories from Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, Brittany and Galicia - and in his introduction Neil Philip pursues the Celtic story to its newer homes in the United States, Cape Breton, Newfoundland and Australia. The twenty stories include The Ship That Went to America, The King of Ireland's Son, Stories of Sion Cent, Duffy and the Devil and The Black Cat.

The book is illustrated throughout by Isabelle Brent's magical watercolours, lavishly embellished with gold leaf, making this handsome volume a book the whole family will treasure.
