A collection of legends from early Christian times, in which the author retells the stories with a directness & simplicity which makes them refreshingly modern.
The stories have a literary merit & a style & character of their own, not dissimilar to the sophistication of the great tales of ancient Greece.
Included in this collection are: The Children of Lir, The Wooing of Etain, Diarmuid & Grainne, The Combat at the Ford, The Children of Tuireann, The Sickbed of Cuchulain & Deirdre & the Sons of Usna.
