Description
Irish fairy tales and legends are full of enchantment, brave deeds and lost loves. Told from generation to generation, they remain as fascinating now as they were to their original listeners. This collection brings together ten of the best-loved traditional Irish stories, retold by author and poet Una Leavy. The stories include The Children of Lir, The post of Gold, and the tale of Oisin in Tír na n-Óg, which marks the end of the great Fianna. The stories in this collection are a treasure trove of tradition, humour and magic. Beautifully illustrated by Susan Field, the book is inspired by ancient Celtic art and culture. The result is a rich and varied collection that will appeal to readers for years to come. Now available in paperback, this beautifully illustrated book is a must-have for anyone interested in Irish folklore and fairy tales.
