In 1935, the creation of The Irish Folklore Commission set in motion the first organized efforts of collecting and studying a multitude of folktales, both written as well as those of the Irish oral tradition. The Commission has collected well over a million pages of manuscripts. Folktales of Ireland offers chief archivist Sean O'Sullivan's representation of this awe-inspiring collection. These tales represent the first English language collection of Gaelic folktales.\"Without doubt the finest group of Irish tales that has yet been published in English.\"-The Guardian\"O'Sullivan writes out of an intimacy with his subject and an instinctive grasp of the language of the originals. He tells us that his archives contain more than a million and a half pages of manuscript. If Mr. O'Sullivan translates them, I'll read them.\"-Seamus Heaney, New Statesman\"The stories have an authentic folktale flavor and will satisfy both the student of folklore and the general reader.\"-Booklist\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51678030528800,"sku":"NEW0226639983","price":25.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71hGEhd3gxL.jpg?v=1779303222","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/folktales-of-ireland-folktales-of-the-world-0226639983","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
