The heroic exploits of Cii 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 splendour, 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 to the Litde 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 humour. Vissza
