Description
The Táin is Ireland's greatest epic, a masterpiece of medieval literature that tells the story of a great cattle-raid and the hero who resists the invaders. Thomas Kinsella's translation brings to life the tale of Cuchulainn, the Hound of Ulster, who single-handedly defends his land against the armies of Medb and Ailill. This edition combines medieval epic with modern art, featuring brush drawings by Louis le Brocquy.
