Irish Fairy Tales by James Stephens, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Published in 1920 with illustrations by Arthur Rackham, James Stephens's book retells ancient Irish legends with poetic wit and warmth. Many of its tales concern the hero Fionn mac Cumhaill and his band, the Fianna, with shapeshifting, enchantments and love. A beautiful introduction to the mythology of Ireland.
About this leather-bound edition
We cover every book in genuine leather by hand, finishing the spine with gold-tone foil titling and decorative tooling in the tradition of fine library bindings. Because each copy is made individually, small variations in leather grain and colour are a natural sign of handwork.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
