“Bitel’s writing is lighthearted and mellifluous; its musicality does justice to the originals….A joyous, entertaining selection of some of Ireland’s oldest – and less well known – stories. Just great.”
—Éilís Ní Dhuibhne, President of the Folklore of Ireland Society, The Irish Times (Jan 25, 2025)
“Lisa M Bitel’s light-footed retellings do justice to the stories’ strangeness as well as their earthy wit.”
—Marina Warner, “Best Books of 2024,” The New Statesman (Nov 13, 2024)
