The Book of Irish Legends presents a selection of enchanting tales and epic myths that lay at the heart of Celtic tradition. Legendary heroes such as Cú Chulainn, the Hound of Ulster, achieve superhuman feats; the warrior-philosopher, Fionn, wrestles with supernatural powers; Connla the Red, the son of a high king, is bewitched by a fairy who promises eternal youth; and the woeful children of Lir are trapped as swans until the ringing of church bells breaks a 300-year old spell. Specially commissioned paintings illustrate each tale, and a glossary of legendary characters further illuminates this charming and evocative collection.
