In 1903, Hermione Templeton Kavanagh published a collection of stories about one Darby O'Gill, the only man in Ireland who was able to stand up to the Little People and beat them at their own tricks. In 1959, Walt Disney released a live-action film of these tales, DARBY O'GILL AND THE LITTLE PEOPLE, which also incidentally introduced a young - and singing! - Sean Connery to an American audience, and also incidentally led to his being cast as the immortal James Bond.Tor paperbacks has "updated" (meaning" "textually regularized for modern readers") Kavanagh's stories - apparently very heavy in Irish dialect.The result is a wonderful romp with Darby as he encounters King Brian Conners (of the Little People)and defeats the banshee and the spooky Costa Bower while proving that a seeming simple man can also be a Very Wise Man. We also learn how the Fairies came to Ireland: a surprising tale in itself.This collection is a wonderful read for devotees of fantasy, folk tales,Irish myth and Walt Disney. It's also a "surprise find" on Amazon.
I enjoyed this book and its roughly 100 year-old stories! I found some of them quite amusing and funny. I gave this book four stars because the diction isn't very consistent. I love how the author/editors used spelling to convey accent (like "tay"="tea"), but some of the words had multiple, 3 or 4, spellings, which made it slightly confusing. I did have fun reading it, though. If you watch the movie, Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959), and then read the book, it's even better! The only possible reason I could think of why anyone wouldn't like it is if they are not fimiliar at all with Ireland and it's culture, people and mythology. It's a difficult read if you don't understand what the characters are saying and talking about! Overall, great book!
an excellent book on what the early 20th century Irish regarded at least some of them in faerie and to a lesser extent ghost lore.
I have always loved this story but have never gotten to read the whole book.I was thrilled to get this copy.The only reason I gave this book three stars is because the print was so smallI had trouble readng the book, even with my reading glasses.I do recommend the book for the story but you might want to search on Amazonfor a larger copy with larger print.
I enjoyed this book quite a bit. Although the Disney Movie was based on it loosely, there are many differences. The stories in the book were set in Tipperary near the Mountain of Slieve-na-Mon; the movie was set in Kilarney near "Nok-na-sheega" In the book Darby is a young man with a son and at least one daugher and his wife, Bridget very much alive and part of the stories. In the movie he is a elderly widower with a daughter. Finally, in the book he is a small farmer whereas in the Movie he is a caretaker for the gentry.Darby in Herminie Templeton Kavanaugh'S stories is a "knowledgible man" meaning he has collected extensive information about the "Good People" or the Leprechauns who live under a mountain not far away. He was captured by them after they had taken his prize cow and he had gone back to get her as they let their stolen cattle out to graze under the moon. In escaping, Darby also manages to liberate his sister in law Maureen from their control (She had been given the come hither some time before) and yet the two become good friends with King Brian of the Good People who routinely visits them in evenings at Darby's hearth (much to the discomfort of Darby's wife Bridget). Bridget calls on Father Cassidy to put a stop to Darby's association with the "Good People" and he comes to Darby's house loaded with blessings and holy things but the shrewd little people battle him to a standstill. Later when Father Cassidy is riding his horse in the mountains and she throws a shoe, King Brian befriends him and answers a question that had been bothering him (How did the little people get into Ireland). King Brian does overstay after a night at Darby's but it is not Darby that captures him and tries to wring advantages from him but a string of Darby's neighbors with humourous results.Finally, Darby saves not his daughter but a friend from the Banshee and in the altercation (he and the banshee run square into each other on the midst of a bridge over a flooded stream) the bansee loses her gold comb. Darby returns it to the witch ("spy of the fairies") Sheila McGuire (not Sugrue)in return for promises not to visit him and his family and to leave the poor fellow and his wife alone that she had been chasing. But Darby did not return the whole comb (a piece had broken off) and the Banshee despondently refused to work and the following Halloween all the unhappy ghosts came from the mountain of Crogmagh to force Darby to hand it over. Darby chnced on them on a dark road by a mill and onnly by invoking King Brian'S aid were they saved. King Brian invoked the Coiste Bodhar driver Sean (a headless ghost or Dullahan) who King Brian informs Darby is the only ghost civil enough to be worthy of his associaton. Sean drives them in the Coiste Bodhar to Coagmagh (An Irish "purgatory" for ghosts where the Banshee resides, like Slieve-na-Mon inside a mountain though unlike SlievenaMon its location is probably not known to mortals) Darby is given his wishes again and wishes wisely, the last time asking the Banshee sing an old Irish ballad which, flattered she does so beutifully that it is not possible to describe, Darby having thus won her regard.The book creates a fascinating contrast: Darby is by day a likeable but laughable spalpeen farmer afraid of his own shadow and prone to daydream at the slightest provocation (It was said that once he developed a liking for honest work and felt so odd about it he went to see the doctor for medicine) But by night when he enters the world of latter day Celtic myth, legend and superstition (though still plagued by the same faults and shortcomings) he becomes something of a great hero figure having (As Pwyll of Dyfed did hundreds of years before him in the Mabinogeon) been to the Otherworl and been permitted to return and earned the rich gifts and highest regard of the King of the Otherword, or who has emerged from great battles with the "forces of darkness" not only undefeated but enhanced and well regarded. As has been suggested, these are ancient stories in modern clothing like those of riddle/magic duel of the Blacksmith and of the "Maiden or the lover dead far away who comes one last time to say goodbye" that populate the folklore of these regions.Herminie Templeton Kavanaugh tells these stories in a delightful way preserving many of the local expressions and pronunciations ("baste" for "beast" and "divil a foot" and many more). Onse senses that with modernization our world so much that was delightful has quietly been lost, and one is grateful to Ms Templeton Kavanaugh that she recorded these stories when she did.
After watching Disney's Darby O'Gill, I could't wait to read the books. While the movie is clearly a derivative of the tales, they provide a magical insight onto Irish legends and lore, spiced with mystery, superstition and wonder. Anyone who enjoys a good "fairy tale" will love reading these books.Claudia NewcornAuthor - Crossover - The Krisalys Chronicles of Fairy TrilogyCrossover: Krisálys Chronicles of Féyree
I love this movie. I watch it every year and I never get tired of it. I also watch the Quiet Man every year, another classic.
