Sinossi

Though the Emerald Isle is no stranger to tales of the fantastic (everything from the Hound Cuchlain to Darby O'Gill and his leprechaun friends), most of the fantasy works dealing with Ireland have limited themselves to either ancient history/Celtic legends and lore, sentimental tales of wee folk, or ghostly tales of hauntings in old deserted castles. Needless to say, there is more to the history and culture of Ireland than the sort of entertainment fare popularized each year around March 17th. Emerald Magic presents the entire cavalcade of Eire - from its earliest beginnings right up to the current climate that has begotten such popular phenomenon's as the rock band U2 and the novels of Roddy Doyle-as the backdrop for a collection of all new stories of the fantastic.
