Irish Sagas & Folktales is a timeless collection of classic Irish myths and legends, beautifully retold by Eileen O'Faolain.

The book begins with heroic sagas-ancestral tales of gods and mortals-including The Children of Lir, The Fate of the Sons of Usnach, and the magnificent Cattle-Raid of Cooley (the story of the Tain).

It continues with the stirring adventures of Finn and the Fianna: Oisin in the Land of the Ever Young, The Pursuit of Dermot and Grania, and more.

Finally, it brings to life the chimney-corner tales of the Little People, such as The Black Thief, The Bird of the Golden Land, and other magical stories.

O'Faolain's lyrical prose captures the rhythm and charm of the Irish storytelling tradition at its enchanting best.
