About this book
A turf fire lights the O'Brien family's modest Irish cabin as John, his wife Kitty and his mother settle after supper. A little food and water have been set outside the door. From this domestic opening, William Henry Frost builds an original story around fairy beliefs, threading traditional Irish tales through the lives of ordinary people. His introduction explains how he adapted accounts gathered by earlier collectors while shaping a connected narrative of his own.
The shorter tales include the children of Lir, O'Donoghue and Oisin, alongside stories of changelings and fairy music. Kathleen O'Brien and Terence Sullivan grow up within the longer story, where family affection meets uncertainty about the Good People. A playful narrator even offers reasons to skip a chapter.
