Celtic Fairy Tales — Neil Philip

In fairy tales, as in music, the romantic artistry of the Celts is in full flower. Here, retold much as they were around Celtic peat fires a hundred years ago, are enthralling tales both new and familiar. There's the romantic tale of Lutey and the Mermaid, Duffy and the Devil, a comic Cornish take on Rumpelstiltskin, and The Black Cat, a haunting version of Cinderella that comes from Brittany. 20 tales are included in all, illustrated with the ornate patterns of the Celts and in striking fifth-color gold by renowned illustrator Isabelle Brent
