The myths and legends of Ireland are among the most fascinating to be found anywhere. Here, they are retold simply and entertainingly, with a true feeling for the Gaelic mood and humor. The heroic exploits of Cu' Chulainn have inspired Irish people through the ages, and will certainly enthrall readers today. Ireland's other famous hero, Finn MacCool, reveals Celtic folklore in all its strange splendor, with deeds that are astonishing, weird---and hugely enjoyable.Every character you meet offers some new surprise, from the extraordinary bald Man of Ben Bulben tot he Little People with their terrible question for St Patrick. Frightening monsters have their funny side---and wicked witches are not always so wicked.The beautifully vivid photography provides just the atmosphere in which to find kings, heroes, giants and lovers. You will discover a mixture of magic and mystery---a taste of danger, a touch of poignancy. And always, a strong sense of Irish charm and humor.
