Excerpt from Waifs and Strays of Celtic Tradition: Folk and Hero Tales
The following Folk Tales, forming a volume by themselves, have been included in the series Of Wazfi and Strays of Celtic Tradition, through the kindness Of my friend, the Reverend D. Macinnes, who has made over the entire collection for this purpose. Efforts were made to secure the first nine tales Of this collection for the late John F. Campbell, Of lslay, but they were unsuccessful. When these Tales were narrated, as they were, without a hesitation in their recital, the narrator was in his seventy-fourth year. Like many others possessing fairy-lore, he has passed away within the last few years; and it is probable that before long the land will be ransacked in vain for the legendary folk-lore or for the fairy lore pure and simple with which it once was teeming.
