The Celtic Twilight (1893) is a collection of stories written and edited by W.B. Yeats. Compiled at the height of the Celtic Twilight, a movement to revive the myths and traditions of Ancient Ireland, The Celtic Twilight captures a wide range of stories, songs, poems, and firsthand accounts from artists and storytellers dedicated to the preservation of Irish culture.

In “Belief and Unbelief,” a story is shared about a village at the foot of Ben Bulben. One day, a young girl disappears while walking through a local field. Fearful that the faeries have gotten her, the townspeople conduct a search of the village, checking every home while burning ragweed and reciting spells to ward off the mischievous spirits. “Mortal Help” discusses the interdependence of humans and faeries, who require the presence of the living in order to play games in the physical world. As evidence, an old ditch digger tells a story from his youth, when he witnessed a group of faeries playing the game of hurling not far from the field where he was working. In “A Knight of the Sheep,” an old farmer faces off with the local tax collector, and both struggle to maintain respect for one another while trading shrewdly concealed insults. “The Devil” discusses several demonic sightings among Irish peasants, who claim to have met Lucifer by the side of the road by day and under the bed at night. The Celtic Twilight captures the collision of ancient and modern Ireland, preserving its legends while ensuring their mystery remains.

With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of W.B. Yeats’s The Celtic Twilight is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.

Arrived in excellent condition. This is a slim book

Arrived in excellent condition. This is a slim book. A cheap paperback version that you are certainly bound to have doubts about being over-priced, or regret when you see how slim a book it is, considering what you paid for it. However, it is a fairly worthy edition of this particular title by Yeats.

Not really a worthwhile buy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 September 2018

More of a quaint book than anything really useful about fairies/Sidhe - if you buy it, perhaps buy it in a version together with his poems, and perhaps in a version with a lengthy introduction or such like, if such a version exists. I do not think it is a worthwhile purchase, as it is a bit chattery, and does not clearly distinguish the sources of the stories he has included.

Do not buy this Kindle book! This version Yeats's novel has been translated back into English from another language. The translation is very poor.
