Description
Stories from long ago, part of an ancient oral tradition, have been passed down through generations and written down by medieval Irish monks. These favourite legends offer a glimpse into the country's rich cultural heritage. The stories include the Salmon of Knowledge, how Cú Chulainn got his name, and the tale of the Children of Lir. Other legends, such as the King with Donkey's Ears and Fionn and the Giant, are also featured. These stories have been retold and recorded in a handy pocket format, making them easy to read and enjoy. This collection of Irish legends is also available in other languages, including French, German, Spanish, and Italian, in a larger format.
