Irish Fairy and Folk Tales

by
William Butler Yeats

[Note from Allen Garvin: Listed here are only the first four chapters, those which are devoted primarily to the fairies. I have only typed in a scant number of sections of these chapters, and I am uncertain how many more I will do in the future. This work is nearly a century old, so I doubt (and hope not that) there are copyrights broken.]
