Reader Revisits 1903 Irish Folk Tale Collection Darby O'Gill

Original: Today I finished 'Darby O’Gill and the Good People', by Herminie Templeton Kavanagh. The stories in this 1903 collection

A reader has finished Herminie Templeton Kavanagh's 'Darby O'Gill and the Good People', the 1903 collection of Irish folk tales that first appeared individually in a magazine over the previous two years.

Why now: The centenary-era classic is finding new readers interested in Irish folklore and its Disney adaptation.
