The Celtic Twilight: Faerie and Folklore by W.B. Yeats
5.0
How ridiculous to rate W. B. Yeats, for God's sake.
This is a lovely collection of folklore and tales about encounters with faery people in County Sligo in Ireland, where Yeats lived for many years. Yeats as the collector of tales is present in the book, as he uses the first person to describe who told him the tales and what the circumstances were. Even the longest are only a few pages, and many are less than a full page, so they are easy to read in quick snippets when you have a few minutes--lunch breaks or waiting for the bus, for example.
