Drawn from his personal collection of over 200 talesranging from the tenth to the twentieth centuriesthese twenty-two yarns are a mix of the eerie, the terrifying, and the madly comic.

In "The Headless Rider of Castle Sheela," the ghost of a beheaded horseman continues to haunt his castle every Christmas day.

Other tales include "The Weeping Wall," "The Bridal Barge of Aran Roe," "Mrs. O’Moyne and the Fatal Slap," and more. Enhanced by Reynolds' illustrations of Irish houses and their residentsboth ghostly and humanthis anthology is a treasure to savor. Introduction by Irish author Padraic Colum.
