In the four provinces of Ireland there are thirty-two counties. Each county and its people have their own traditions, beliefs and folklore – and each one is also inhabited by the Sidhe: an ancient and magical race. Some believe they are descended from fallen angels, whilst others say they are the progeny of Celtic deities. They go by many names: the good folk, the wee folk, the gentle people and the fey, but are most commonly known as ‘the fairies’.

These are not the whimsical fairies of Victorian and Edwardian picture books. They are feared and revered in equal measure, and even in the twenty-first century are spoken of in hushed tones.

The fairies are always listening.

Storyteller Steve Lally and his wife singer-songwriter Paula Flynn Lally have compiled this magnificent collection of magical fairy stories from every county in Ireland. Filled with unique illustrations that bring these tales to life, Irish Gothic Fairy Stories will both enthral and terrify readers for generations to come.

STEVE LALLY has worked as a storyteller writer and visual artist for over fifteen years. He writes his own fresh material as well as reimagining folk tales, myths, legends, recitations and story songs, leading participatory storytelling and arts workshops PAULA FLYNN LALLY is an award-winning writer and radio presenter, whose work has featured widely on RTE Radio.
