In writing these fascinating stories, Edmund Leamy turned to our Gaelic past to give the Irish people something which would implant in them a love for the beauty and dignity of their country's traditions. The charming and poetic tales in this book include `Princess Finola and the Dwarf', `The Fairy Tree of Dooros', `The House in the Lake', `The Little White Cat', `The Golden Spears' and `The Enchanted Cave'.
