Isabelle Brent.
Making appearances among the twenty Celtic tales gathered in this handsome collection are "The Three Blows" from Wales, the Scottish "Molly Whuppie," the Breton story "The Black Cat," and the Cornish "Duffy and the Devil." Full of magic and adventure, some of the tales will resonate with readers as variants of Cinderella and other oft-told stories. The elaborately bordered watercolor paintings are saturated with gold and jewel-like colors.
