    In this collection, stories from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man, Cornwall, and Brittany show their common Celtic heritage in their love of extravagance and poetry, their quick wit, and their daring sense of adventure.Here, retold much as they were around Celtic peat fires a hundred years ago, are the enthralling tales of "Fair, Brown, and Trembling," "The Brown Bear of the Green Glen," and "The Ship that Went to America." Some of the stories give familiar tales a Celtic twist: "Duffy and the Devil" is a comic Cornish take on the Rumpelstiltskin story; "The Black Cat" is a dark and mysterious Breton "Cinderella." Others seem new and strange: the doomed love of "Lutey and the Mermaid," or the mystic rapture of "The Little Bird."Perhaps most riveting of all is the Irish tale of "The Soul Cages," in which a fisherman makes friends with one of the sea-people, Coomara, and uses that friendship to fee the souls of drowned sailors, kept by Coomara in lobster pots in is house beneath the waves.Illustrated in watercolor and gold leaf by acclaimed artist Isabelle Brent, these tales are full of Celtic magic.
