Irish Fairy and Folk Tales by W.B. Yeats

Irish Fairy and Folk Tales by W.B. YeatsThis slipcase edition of one of Yeats's lesserknown works makes for an excellent gift.

In the wake of her family's collapse

Liesel's life is changed forever when she picks up a single object

but is also highly attuned to the world outside

and provides a vivid insight into the kind of life that would have awaited the slaves amid the souks and seraglios of old Algiers

He needs Annie's help to escape safely across the border

McConville's children knew it was their mother when they were told a blue safety pin was attached to the dress--with so many kids

the little creatures that make our shared world go round

both overwhelmed and replenished by the sun's vital heat

And on their journey through the ever-changing seasons

William Shakespeare and Christina Rossetti sit alongside Seamus Heaney

and this collection of ingenious new stories by twelve Christie devotees will be a timely reminder why Jane Marple remains the most famous fictional female detective of all time
