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
