Celtic Wonder Tales by Ella Young
A collection of tales for children and adults embodying the Celtic Myth of Creation.
Ella Young was born in 1867 in the little village of Feenagh, County Antrim. From childhood I heard tales of ghosts, banshees, haunted castles, mischievous and friendly sprites, snatches of ballads, and political arguments ... It was not until I came to Dublin and met Standish O'Grady, A.E., and Kuno Meyer that I realized what a heritage waited for me in Celtic literature. I read every translation I could get, learned Irish, and betook myself to Gaelic Ireland where, by turf fires, I could hear the poems of the Fianna recited by folk who had heard the faery music and had danced in faery circles ... Ella Young died in California in 1956.
