Learn why the "Little People" are found only in Ireland.

A enchanting collection of short stories all about the little people of Ireland. One of the interesting things about this book is, that not a single one of the writers was actually born in Ireland.

The reason we find the little people only in...

Very Irish & Very Fanciful

I suggest pausing between stories to clear the mind. All the writers bring their own style, but also that Irish lyrical writing. To really savor each one, you need to avoid rushing straight through.

These are not your Lucky Charm leprechauns.I'd also recommend Norah Roberts'A Little Magic which embraces Irish fantasies...

The stories all range in setting from the ancient past to the very modern, and...

Ah, Irish Magic!

What a lovely book! I gave it as a gift to myself, because Father Greeley is one of my guilty pleasures. I have always been a huge fan of the work of Charles De Lint, and the Butter Spirit's tithe was a great read, very fun. Likewise Elizabeth Haydon, whose prose has always reminded me a little bit of William Butler Yeats, infuses her charming take with the poetry only found in Irish blood. Judith Tarr, an author I had not...
