GHOSTS IN IRISH HOUSES
" A collection of Ghostly Folk Tales
Retold and Painted
by James Reynolds"
  • Hardback Book with Dust Jacket by James Reynolds
  • Bonanza Books
  • Copyright, MCMXLVII, by Creative Art Press, Inc.
" With senses tuned to the cry of the banshee, no people are
more intimate with spirits- both horrible and friendly-
than the richly imaginative Irish.

In the magnificently conceived and superbly executed book,
James Reynolds, Irish-born painter, horseman, and traveler,
has selected and retold twenty-two folk tales from a collection
of two hundred gathered during his life in Ireland. He invariably
captured the perfect note of the eerie, the terrifying, and the
comic in these paintings, drawings, and this subtly polished prose; for he
is "ghost-conscious" and "castle-conscious" as Padriac Colum says,
and can describe with the words of a poet what a painter sees. "

" There are nine full-page, four-color paintings by Mr. Reynolds of
Irish houses and castles, and many pencil sketches of their
inhabitants, ghostly and human.
