A compilation of Irish folk tradition gathering oral legends, fairy lore, charms, and superstitions, interwoven with short sketches of the island's past. It opens by situating folklore among language and monuments, then offers retellings of fairy encounters, banshee and changeling stories, ritual customs, festival practices (May, Candlemas, Midsummer, November rites), animal legends, and accounts of poets, warriors, and sacred sites. It records charms, popular remedies, and spells alongside tales of moral justice, death omens, and fairy interaction with humans, showing how pagan motifs and Christian belief coexist in popular imagination. Material derives largely from peasant testimony and aims to preserve vanished oral traditions.
