I‘m going to have to bail on this one. The writing is dry and it reads like a dissertation. Example “At the point when Perceval rides out into the grey and empty dawn from the deserted castle, we are two-fifths of the way through Chrétien‘s work in its unfinished form.” That‘s a sentence chosen at random. ? I wanted to like it, but when reading becomes a chore, I‘m out. Too many good books out there. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

It‘s so much fun reading the different versions! Each one is slightly different. All the illustrations have been beautiful. Soon I‘ll start the Crown of Twelve: A Twelve Dancing Princesses Novella which is the 1st of the Crowns of the Fae Trilogy ( or novella + duology)
Thanks @TheBookHippie

At the airport waiting to fly home and I've been alternating between the tagged book and the audiobook of Dickens's A Christmas Carol. #CozyChristmas

The Celtic Twilight | William Butler Yeats
post image
Pickpick

Book #16 of 2024: “The Celtic Twilight” by WB Yeats

This had a few poems but was mostly stories about the Sidhe collected from Irish people across the country. I‘ll come back to it again later when I have time to do some more research into the people, places, and legends referenced. And, maybe, take a trip to all the places Yeats identifies as doors to the dim world.
