Celtic Tales told to the Children by Louey Chisholm with pictures by Katharine Cameron

One of my friends tells me that you, little reader, will not like these old, old tales; another says they are too sad for you, and yet another asks what the stories are meant to teach. 

Celtic Tales told by Louey Chisholm are sad, but you do not always want to be amused. She has not told the stories for the sake of anything they may teach, but because of their sheer beauty, and she expect you to enjoy them as hundreds and hundreds of Irish and Scottish children have already enjoyed them--without knowing or wondering why.
