The Celtic Twilight: Faerie and Folklore delves into the mythical and magical realms of Irish folklore. Best known for his poetry, William Butler Yeats (1865–1939) was deeply committed to preserving and exploring the rich tapestry of Irish myths and legends. This collection, originally published in 1893, captures the essence of pre-dawn magic and mystery through a series of stories that blend personal experiences with the folklore shared by Yeats’ friends, neighbors, and acquaintances. The book’s title references these early hours when Druidic rituals were believed to hold special power. Through meticulous transcription and his own visionary insights appended to the narratives, Yeats offers readers a glimpse into an eerie yet enchanting world inhabited by fairies, ghosts, and spirits. This edition from Dover Publications (ISBN-13: 978-0486436579) comprises 128 pages and provides a captivating journey through the mystical heart of Celtic Ireland.
