About this book
Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland gathers legends in an edition whose preface explains the selection required to compress three volumes into one. The preface describes the edition as condensed and revised, while explaining that the prefatory remarks are intended to prevent readers from considering the edition an abridgment. Carroll O’Daly avoids bold rides near fairy haunts after dusk and, when benighted in lonely places, makes for his destination without seeking the good people.
The Legend of Knockgrafton introduces a poor man with a great hump on his back, living in the fertile glen of Aherlow beneath the Galtee mountains. The Legend of O’Donoghue places a chieftain's rule around Lough Lean, now called the lake of Killarney, in an age whose precise period is unknown.
