This vintage 1986 volume features traditional Irish folklore retold by Neil Philip, but its true magic lies in the artwork. The book is entirely illustrated using the surviving hand-painted glass slides created by 1890s amateur naturalist Henry Underhill for his Victorian magic lantern shows. The narrative follows Guleesh, a quiet youth who gets swept up by fairies on an airborne journey to rescue a French princess.
