Four magical Irish myths celebrate romance, adventure, and timeless love and include Morgan Llywelyn's To Recapture the Light, in which an immortal beauty and an ancient enemy surrender to forbidden... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Each of the love stories were quite different although all included enchantments, sorcery, magical spells, and the little people. I chose the book when I noticed that one of the included authors was one of my favorites, Morgan Llywelyn. I'd never read the other three authors but was hoping I'd find another favorite. The last story in the book by Roberta Gellis reminded me a little of the Odyssey with the hero being required to do the "impossible" to pay the bride price for the woman he loved. The ending was clever and hilarious!
'Tis a fine read!

Wonderful stories of magic, romance, and irish lore. If you like to curl up at night with a short story, this is a great book for you. I was delighted with this book and with Irish Magic.

I picked this book up on a whim at a book fair. I was enormously lucky to find four such gifted story tellers together in one book. This book is a must for those who love the Ireland of yore. This was one of those books I read cover to cover in one sitting. After each story, I was worried that the next would be a disappointment, but that never happened. These tales weave together to give you a sense of Irish Magick as its best.
