Beschreibung

Joseph Jacobs' "Celtic Fairy Tales" is a compilation of beautiful folktales compiled and recounted. The book contains an enthralling collection of classic stories from the Celtic countries of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man. Jacobs, a well-known folklorist, demonstrates his expertise in curating and renewing these stories, keeping their core while making them more accessible to a wider audience. The collection's stories are full with mythical creatures, heroic acts, and moral teachings. They transport readers to a magical world inhabited by fairies, giants, witches, and daring adventures. Jacobs depicts the Celtic peoples' cultural history and imagination via rich storytelling, providing insight into their values, concerns, and hopes. Jacobs, as a skilled storyteller, not only provides the wonderful tales of the Celtic culture, but also adds his own distinctive touch to create a delightful reading experience.

Portrait

Joseph Jacobs (29 August 1854 - 30 January 1916) was a British-Jewish folklorist, translator, literary critic, social scientist, historian, and writer of English literature who was born in New South Wales. He became a well-known collector and publisher of English folklore. Jacobs was brought up in a Jewish household in Sydney. His writings went on to promote variations of English fairy stories like "Jack as well as the Beanstalk," "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," "The Three Little Pigs," "Jack the Great Killer," or the "History of Tom Thumb." He published a pair of collections of English fairy tales, titled English Fairy Tales in 1890 and More English Fairy Stories in 1893, but he also published fairy tales collected from continental Europe, as well as Jewish, Celtic, and Indian fairytales, making him one of the most popular writers of fairytales for the English language.
