Story
Most people have heard of the Celts - the elusive, ancient tribal people who resided in present-day England, Ireland, Scotland and France. Paradoxically characterized as both barbaric and innocent, the Celts appeal to the modern world as a symbol of a bygone era, a world destroyed by the ambition of empire and the spread of Christianity throughout Western Europe. Despite the pervasive cultural and literary influence of the Celts, shockingly little is known of their way of life and beliefs, because very few records of their stories exist.

Editorial reviews
James Stephens' retelling of 10 Irish fairy tales is a true delight, and narrator Kevin Stillwell's understated performance highlights their charm. The stories are set in a medieval Ireland filled with larger-than-life hunters, warriors, kings, and magical creatures; many of the tales are derived from the Fenian cycle of Irish mythology. Listeners will thrill to the stories of the Fianna and their leader Fionn mac Cumhaill as he embarks on adventures with druids and enchanted children. Stillwell's delivery of Stephens' words captures their poetic cadence wonderfully.

This is George Dasent's classic collection of Scandinavian folklore.

Rather, this is an anthology of folk tales, similar to the Grimm Brothers', or Campbell's Popular Tales of the West Highlands. All of the usual suspects are in place, including giants, trolls, witches, evil step-siblings, magical boons and tasks, and anthropomorphic animals.

It seems animals are like people in many ways--they just can’t get along with one another. And Brer Rabbit has the most trouble of all. Maybe it’s his mischievous ways, or maybe it’s because adventures always come looking for him. There was the frightening day that Brer Rabbit found himself attached to a baby made of sticky tar. Brer Fox would have had a tasty barbecue that evening if Brer Rabbit hadn’t been such a quick thinker. Then there was the time Mr. Man finally caught Brer Rabbit in the garden.

Kevin Stillwell does an incredible job of performing the stories, adding a sense of mysticism and wonder to all, paired with perfect pronunciation made this one of the most enjoyable anthologies I've heard.
If they teamed up to release another compilation, it would be an insta-buy for me.
I'd buy 20 more stories

I have never been to an Irish pub in Dublin and listened to a long winded story teller spin a yarn that seems to flow like a wispy feather caught upon an afternoon breeze…but this is what I imagine it would be like to share a moment with that old and interesting man.
Loved the narration.
Off the beaten track…BUT IN A GOOD WAY
