OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
ON
ANCIENT LEGENDS OF IRELAND.
A work to be welcomed as a valuable addition to the literature of folk-lore and mythology; taken down, for the most part, from oral communications with the peasantry. Scotsman.
Few nations have a folk-lore so rich and imaginative as that of the Irish. Lady Wilde has studied it conscientiously, and is so well acquainted with the origins of her subject, that the perusal of her book is no less instructive than pleasing. Morning Post.
An important contribution to the literature of Ireland and the worlds stock of folk-lore. Evening Mail.
Lady Wildes book will be welcome either to the professed student of Irish antiquity or to the more general reader who finds delight in fascinating folk-tales delightfully recorded. Westminster Review.
Told with power as well as with simplicity ... a very interesting and readable collection of folk-lore. Graphic.
Lady Wildes book is delightful.... Amongst those best acquainted with Irish folk-lore, legends, and mysteries, we believe few will be found capable of adding many words to pages which could only have been filled by an Irish woman lovingly treating such a subject. Vanity Fair.
Those who care for legendary reading will find in this volume a source of much enjoyment. Northern Whig.
The myths and legends are all of deep interest and value. Knowledge.
