  Step into a world of enchantment, mystery, and ancient magic with this mesmerizing collection of Irish folklore, curated by one of Ireland’s greatest literary voices, William Butler Yeats. Drawing from centuries of oral tradition, Irish Folk and Fairy Tales brings together tales of mischievous fairies, heroic warriors, tragic lovers, and eerie spirits that haunt the emerald hills and misty glens of Ireland. 
   
  From the whimsical to the haunting, these stories capture the soul of a people whose myths and legends were deeply woven into the fabric of everyday life. Yeats' lyrical prose, rich in rhythm and reverence, breathes new life into age-old tales—preserving a fading oral tradition with poetic beauty and scholarly care. 
   
  Yeats’ was both a literary and cultural mission when he collected these tales, driven by a deep love for Irish heritage and a desire to preserve the oral traditions of Ireland in the face of modernity and colonial influence. What better way to appreciate them than by hearing them read by the inimitable Gerard Doyle, whose warmth and depth bring Yeats' beloved collection vividly to life. Doyle’s captivating voice and nuanced delivery transport listeners to a bygone world where the veil between the natural and supernatural is thin, and wonder lurks in every shadow. 
   
  Perfect for lovers of folklore, poetry, and Irish heritage, this audiobook is both a cultural treasure and a spellbinding listening experience.

  The Good Mother Myth -...

  Timely and thought-provoking, Nancy Reddy unpacks and debunks the bad ideas that have for too long defined what it means to be a "good" mom.When Nancy Reddy had her first child, she found herself suddenly confronted with the ideal of a perfect mother—a woman who was constantly available, endlessly patient, and immediately invested in her child to the exclusion of all else. Reddy had been raised by a single working mother, considered herself a feminist, and was well on her way to a PhD. Why did doing motherhood "right" feel so wrong?For answers, Reddy turned to the mid-20th century social scientists and psychologists whose work still forms the basis of so much of what we believe about parenting. It seems ludicrous to imagine modern moms taking advice from midcentury researchers. Yet, their bad ideas about so-called “good” motherhood have seeped so pervasively into our cultural norms. In The Good Mother Myth, Reddy debunks the flawed lab studies, sloppy research, and straightforward misogyny of researchers from Harry Harlow, who claimed to have discovered love by observing monkeys in his lab, to the famous Dr. Spock, whose bestselling parenting guide included just one (1!) illustration of a father interacting with his child.This timely and thought-provoking audiobook will make you laugh, cry, and want to scream (sometimes all at once).  Blending history of science, cultural criticism, and memoir, The Good Mother Myth pulls back the curtain on the flawed social science behind our contemporary understanding of what makes a good mom.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
