Each child felt the transition like a shock ... and the rounded summit of Lisnavoura, now closely overhanging them, struck them with a new fear.' \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ireland's rich literary history has within it a vein of potent fantastic fiction, drawing upon a deep folkloric tradition brimming with tales of the aos si (the people of the fairy mounds), the Otherworld and timeless deities. Writers in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries added a new chapter to this tradition, reworking elements of folklore into modern tales of the weird and macabre. Featuring stories by classic authors such as Sheridan Le Fanu and Charlotte Riddell alongside pieces by Lady Gregory, Katharine Tynan, Elizabeth Bowen and many more.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67390726340653,"sku":"WHS-a0fc5c96a9454434826e45c74bf71e93","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_271d5f05-f3ce-4ac5-966d-9ebccac33666.jpg?v=1787346484","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/uncanny-ireland-otherworldly-tales-of-the-strange-and-sublime-1","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
