Thirty beguiling stories of sprites, wraiths, and specters appear here, as they were told to a Smithsonian Institution ethnographer in rural 19th-century Ireland. Stories include 'Tom Connors and the Dead Girl,' 'Maurice Griffin and the Fairy Doctor,' 'The Ghost of Sneem,' 'Tom Moore and the Seal Woman,' 'The Blood-Drawing Ghost,' and many more. Not only a valuable resource for students of anthropology and aficionados of Celtic lore, but also hours of enchantment for all lovers of folk tales.
