258,95 kr. This deluxe hardback edition presents W. B. Yeat's enthralling tales from Ireland's oral history, with delightful illustrations, gilded page edges and a striking gold-embossed cover design. One of Ireland's greatest writers, the Nobel-prize winner Yeats was fascinated by the myths and folklore of his native country.
