Rendition In Pursuance Of Books Irish Folk and Fairy Tales Omnibus Edition
This summer I picked up a book called, Irish Folk and Fairy Tales Omnibus by Michael Scott, from Dublin Ireland. This book compiled 17 Irish folk tales into one. It caught my attention because the first three stories are about the sorrows of Irish storytelling. It takes upon various tales and roles them into one. The stories are like Homers, Odyssey in that it is a tale with many quests. They also pull from the traditional Irish Catholic theme of penance and doing good for others less fortunate. Finally, it is similar to most countries folk tales as it tells a story of the people and how they came to be. Folk tales and fairy tales are a great way to get to know a country and this book gave me insight into the people of Ireland. I highly recommend it as it is a book that takes the reader on multiple adventures to different lands.Specify Books As Irish Folk and Fairy Tales Omnibus Edition

Измъчи ме и я зарязах накрая. :(It's a great book for short stories. Love the Irish folklores. A must read if you can get a hold of it. And more importantly if you enjoy folklores and fairy tales.
For a while now I've been inching my way through anything I could find on the Tuatha De Danann, so this book appeared at the perfect time. There was enough stories that I could read them all in bits and pieces, but it was also the glimpse into mythology and history that I needed.

English review below the Greek one...Μερικές φορές το πως δένεται κανείς με ένα βιβλίο είναι κάτι προσωπικό. Το συγκεκριμένο έχει θέση στην καρδιά μου, διότι το πρωτοδιάβασα όταν ήμουν στην Ιρλανδία και διότι μου άρεσε πάρα πολύ το συναίσθημα που βγάζουν οι περισσότερες ιστορίες.Ο Micheal Scott γύρισε πολλές φορές προς τα τέλη της δεκαετίας του '70 κυρίως τις νοτιοδυτικές επαρχίες της Ιρλανδίας και συνέλεξε πολλές ιστορίες, οι οποίες αποτέλεσαν την βάση για να γράψει πολλά κεφάλαια αυτού του
