The Celtic Twilight
The Celtic Twilight is a collection of Irish Folk tales written by William Butler Yeats, an Irish poet and one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature.
Author's Preface:
Many of the tales in this book were told me by one Paddy Flynn, a little bright-eyed old man, who lived in a leaky and one-roomed cabin in the village of Ballisodare, which is, he was wont to say, "the most gentle"—whereby he meant faery—"place in the whole of County Sligo." Others hold it, however, but second to Drumcliff and Drumahair.
