Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland is a collection of stories and folklore about fairies and other supernatural beings in Ireland, compiled and edited by Thomas Crofton Croker. The book was first published in 1838 and includes tales from various regions of southern Ireland, including Cork, Kerry, and Waterford. The stories in the book cover a range of topics, including the origins of fairies, their appearance and behavior, their interactions with humans, and the consequences of crossing them. Some of the tales are humorous and light-hearted, while others are darker and more cautionary. Croker's collection is notable for its attention to detail and its preservation of local dialects and customs. He includes footnotes and commentary to provide context and explain unfamiliar terms. The book also features illustrations by Irish artist Daniel Maclise, which add to its charm and appeal. Overall, Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Irish folklore and mythology, and it remains a popular and influential work in the field to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
