These nine stories were published in 1825, then somehow fell through the cracks of history. William Wilde (Oscar’s dad) claimed in 1852 that they were the best things out there on Irish folklore. Yeats later (from what Beach can see) pretended to have read them, but there is suggestive evidence that he had not. Here they are cut and paste together in one place for convenience. Enjoy and happy epiphany! If anyone works out the author (definitively) a hearty slap on the back…
