The Library Compensation Handbook: A Guide for Administrators, Librarians, and Staff Book

I enjoy this book -- mostly because I'm a professional storyteller, and I'm especially interested in the oral storytelling in Celtic traditions. That's what the author offers. If you're looking for an extensive collection of folktales -- this is not it. It includes sixteen stories, all retold in a way that would make for good oral retelling. "Breeze" is apt. This is a breezy introduction to oral storytelling in Celtic lands. The book is attractively arranged, with black-and-white illustrations and Celtic-themed borders. Each story is introduced with details about where the author heard the tale, variants, history. And most of the tales are followed with a related folksong or two, including both words and music. This is not a compilation, but it is an experience.
