"Celtic Tales, Told to the Children" by Louey Chisholm is a collection of retold traditional Celtic stories likely written in the early 20th century. This work showcases the rich folklore of Ireland and Scotland, aiming to introduce young readers to stories filled with beauty, adventure, and poignant lessons, even if some tales carry a touch of sadness. The opening stories feature characters such as Deirdre, the legendary figure known for her beauty and tragic fate, as well as other enchanting figures from the Celtic mythos. At the start of the collection, readers are introduced to the tale of Deirdre, whose birth is foretold to bring sorrow to the land. The narrative recounts her growing up under the protection of King Concobar, who becomes enamored with her while she dreams of another, Nathos. This tale unfolds with themes of love, loss, and destiny, marked by prophecies and magic that illustrate the tragic beauty of Celtic mythology. Alongside her story, the text also hints at another tale featuring the transformation of Lir's children into swans, establishing a tone that balances sorrow and enchantment throughout the narrative. Overall, the opening portion paints a vivid picture of a world where love and fate intertwine in the most unexpected and often heartbreaking ways.
