Irish Fairy Tales

W. B. Yeats, a Nobel Prize-winning writer from Ireland, was deeply intrigued by the myths and folklore of his homeland. In 1892, Yeats compiled a collection of these stories, which were gathered from various sources across the country, including Lady Wilde, the mother of Oscar Wilde. Among the tales within these pages are stories of sons facing consequences for their greed, clever priests, wicked witches, and demons, as well as legends of heroic kings, giants, and the beloved fairies, leprechauns, and cluricauns of Irish folklore. These are timeless stories that have been passed down through generations and remain as enchanting and captivating as ever.

This edition, beautifully adorned with foil stamping and enchanting illustrations, is presented in a handsome slipcase. The seven texts contained within were written between 500 BCE and 700 CE, inspiring military leaders in China and beyond for centuries. The inclusion of Sun Tzu's The Art of War sheds light on the ancient Chinese military masterpieces featured in this collection. These texts demonstrate an enduring understanding of strategy and warfare that remains relevant over 2,000 years later, emphasizing concepts such as speed, stealth, and cunning.

The seven texts included in this collection comprise some of the most renowned military writings from ancient China, including The Art of War, Wuzi, Wei Liaozi, Taigong's Six Secret Teachings, The Methods of the Sima, Three Strategies of Huang Shigong, and Questions and Replies Between Emperor Taizong of Tang and General Li Jing. These new translations highlight the timeless wisdom found within these texts, which have been essential readings for Chinese military officers since the 11th century AD.
