Author Description

Ireland's long history is riddled with ancient mythology and folklore. Ireland's ancient societies, the Druids and the Celts, believed in the power of magic and many of these beliefs spread to modern day legends told again and again across the country. Stories of warriors with all the knowledge of the world, fairies playing pranks on farm owners and leprechauns hiding their gold at the end of a rainbow add to the mysterious appeal of Ireland. Here is a taste of ten of these, brought by editor Lizzy Shannon.
