Fairy tales are a rich element of childhood in many cultures around the world. But in Ireland, where they are known as wonder tales, these stories of magic and enchantment are not restricted to young audiences; Irish wonder tales are told to adults.So that the modern reader can fully appreciate them, Gose provides an interdisciplinary overview. He identifies a number of approaches - psychological, anthropological, structural, comparative, and typological.
