Description
In making my selection I have chiefly tried to make the stories characteristic. It would have been easy, especially from Kennedy, to have made up a volume entirely filled with 'Grimm's Goblins' Ñ la Celtique. But one can have too much even of that very good thing, and I have therefore avoided as far as possible the more familiar 'formulæ' of folk-tale literature. To do this I had to withdraw from the English-speaking Pale both in Scotland and Ireland, and I laid down the rule to include only tales that have been taken down from Celtic peasants ignorant of English.
