(english) Lady Gregory

147K0

This book is the most memorable and immortal legend that the Irish poet and playwright Yeats and Lady Gregory visited the farmhouses from door to door and compiled and recorded them. Yeats once described the charm of the stories in the book: "These stories do not have the epic momentum, but are just great deeds woven from many small things... Those strange and magical creatures are more significant to children than us, because they can only sneak into people's consciousness bit by bit. The fantasy kingdom they build is a place where people can wander aimlessly. It is a place with different scenery, a place where you can know what you will encounter tomorrow from what you experienced yesterday. I really want to be a child and discover this book, because the book not only tells about such a desirable country, but also contains many heroic legends that have not been recorded in other books, as well as all the childhood stories in folklore. In my heart, it is more precious than all Western books. "
