Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Herein are 4 illustrated tales retold by Fiona MacLeod and illustrated by Sunderland Rollinson. Three of them are a retelling of Old Tales of the Celtic Wonderworld collectively known as "The Three Sorrows of Story-Telling " or Tri Thruaighe ma Scéalaigheachta. While this book may only contain four stories, they are told in their entirety and are in no way abbreviated, as so many now are, which has resulted in a not insubstantial 278 page volume. The stories in this volume are: The Laughter of Peterkin The Four White Swans The Fate of the Sons of Turenn Darthool and the Sons of Usna Much the most ancient of the "Three Sorrows" is the tale of the Sons of Turenn. The period of this tale belongs to mythological times. "The Children of Lir" may be taken as a connecting link between the mythological and prehistoric and Christian periods. The tale of "Deirdre," or "Darthool," is by far the best known in Gaelic Scotland, and is still one of the most favourite ancient tales throughout all Gaeldom. In the story of "The Sons of Turenn" author’s license has been taken with the character of Lugh, or Lu-Lamfada---Lugh of the Long Hand. In this version he is represented uniformly as sternly cruel; but it must be borne in mind that his inveterate hostility to the Sons of Turenn was not due to insatiable revenge alone, but to his belief (as prophesied by his father) that any clemency in the fulfilment of the great eric demanded would result in terrible disaster to Erin itself. Throughout this ancient tale, indeed, Lu-Lamfada is an imitation of Destiny, or Nemesis. It may at the same time be added that in the story of "Darthool" Fergus is shown more obviously culpable than the old chronicles indicate, where he appears rather as a too innocent and trustful tool of King Concobar. So, we invite you to curl up with this unique sliver of ancient Celtic culture and lore, not seen in print for many-a-year, and immerse yourself in the tales and fables which stretch back to the dawn of time itself. ---------------------------- KEYWORDS-TAGS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, Laughter of Peterkin, Four, White Swans, Fate, Sons of Turenn, Darthool, Sons of Usna, Celtic, King Concobar MacNessa, Tales, Celtic Wonderworld, Three Sorrows of Story-Telling, Tri Thruaighe ma Scéalaigheachta, Deirdre, Gaeldom, King, Prince, Queen, Princess, Fountain, Exceeding Beauty, Touch, Fionula, Children of Lir, Fair, Young, Daughter, Beautiful, Snow-white, Swan, Turenn, Intercede, Sons, Great Raven, Glossy, Black, Burnished Sun Rays, moonbeam, counterpane, hands, awe-struck, seven stars, round eyes, shimmering green, gold, cradle, Donal McDonal, Mairgred Cameron, moonlit, De Danann, Banba, Fionula, Eilidh, Dedannans, Blackwater, Meath, Tuatha-De-Danann, Nemedia, Eire, Erin, Dagda, Ardree, High King, Aileel of Ara, Killaloe, Aev, Bove Derg, Aeifa, Shee Finnaha, Lugh, Lu-Lamfada, Long-hand, Nuadh, Silver Hand, Kian the Noble, eric, Ultonian, An Grioglachan, water-horse, Ailne, Ardan, Fergus, Three Duns, Angus of Moidart, Appin lands, Angus Mudartach, Lismore, Dunchraig, Glenmassan, Glen Orchy, Coona, Ireland, Isle of Man, Scotland, Irish, Manx, Scottish

"The Laughter of Peterkin" by William Sharp is a storybook about the Celtic Wonderworld. The old tales reveal interesting facts about Celtic myths and legends. Excerpt: "At the rising of the moon, Peterkin awoke, and laughed. He was in his little white bed near the open window, so that when a moonbeam wavered from amid the branches of the great poplar, falling suddenly upon his tangled curls and yellowing them with a ripple of pale gold, it was as though a living thing stole in out of the June night. He had not awaked at first. The moonbeam seemed caught in a tangle: then it glanced along a crescent tress on the pillow: sprang back like a startled bird: flickered hither and thither above the little sleeping face: and at last played idly on the closed eyelids with their long dark eyelashes. It was then that Peterkin awoke."

Among the Celtic people of Ireland and the rth-west of Scotland, story-telling has always been a favourite amusement. In the olden time, they had professional story-tellers, variously designated according to rank-ollaves, shanachies, files, bards, etc.-whose duty it was to kw by heart a number of old tales, poems, and historical pieces, and to recite them at festive gatherings, for the entertainment of the chiefs and their guests. ============ KEYWORDS/TAGS: celtic myths and legends - celtic legends - celtic tales - celtic tales fairy tales and stories of enchantment - celtic tales and legends - celtic fairy tales - celtic myths and tales - magical celtic tales - celtic tales of magic and enchantment - celtic wonder tales
