Description
As an exploration of the longstanding connection between the people of Ireland and the inhabitants of the land of Fairy, this volume remains one of the best-known collections of Yeats's prose. Yeats, who had a profound belief in mysticism and theosophy, wrote with conviction of the realities and existence of the Fairies, both in his own life, and the daily lives of the Irish people.

Description
The legends of the Hawaiian Islands are valuable in themselves, in that they reveal an understanding of the phenomena of nature and unveil their early history with its mythological setting. They are also valuable for comparison with the legends of the other Pacific islands, and they are exceedingly interesting when contrasted with the folk-lore of other nations.

We know so much about all that lies around us: the manner...

It was twilight and the children tired of playing gathered round the fire.
Outside, the snow fell softly, softly; and the bare trees shook their branches in the keen air. The pleasant glow of the blazing logs lighted up the circle of happy faces, and peopled the distant corners with elfin shadows.

These cartoons were made one by one in; moments of leisure to please a small boy. They are now reprinted in the hope of pleasing other small boys and girls. They were originally in color, but for the present purpose they have been made over in black and white by a Japanese artist, who has given them life by occasional quaint touches of his own.

The story of Pele and her sister Hiiaka stands at the fountain-head of Hawaiian myth and is the matrix from which the unwritten literature of Hawaii drew its life-blood. The material for the elaboration of this story has, in part, been found in serial contributions to the Hawaiian newspapers during the last few decades; in part, gathered by interviews with the men and women of the older regime, in whose memory it has been stored and, again, in part,...

For it secures their exhibition in more, and more...
