Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Leprechauns and Irish Folklore by Mary Pope Osborne and
Natalie Pope Boyce contains a lot of fun and interesting
facts about the Celts and the old legends of Ireland. It
addresses historical events that have affected Irish
folklore, such as how Christian monks came to Ireland and
documented many myths, how English heritage almost wiped out
Irish folklore, and how if it werent for people like
Douglas Hyde and Lady Gregory, the amazing legends of old
might have been lost. Most of all, this book tells of
fairies, all kinds of fairies, such as leprechauns and
banshees. This mind-boggling research guide includes
everything from how fairies act and where they live to what
fairies like and how to prevent their mischief. Stories are
told about peoples encounters with fairies, how they can be
very nice or very dangerous. You even get to read about the
origin of Halloween in Ireland. Later, the book tells about
a magical land filled with fairies, where you never grow up.
Finally, this book cautions that you never know where a
fairy might be hiding!
I really found this to be an
extremely interesting book. Mary Pope Osborne and Natalie
Pope Boyce did a very good job of explaining Irish folklore.
I never knew that there were so many types of fairies! It
was surprising how they fit myths, legends, and the history
of music, dancing, magic, and much more all in one little
book! Although I found the content impressive, the
information was not well organized. The facts were randomly
placed throughout the book.
Anyone who is interested in fairies, magic and/or old Irish
culture would love this book and I would definitely
recommend it.
