Product Description
Tales of great giants, clever warriors,
jealous queens, and mystical creatures abound in this richly
illustrated volume of six traditional Irish legends. The book includes
stories about a king with donkey’s ears, a moral lesson about riches
and possessions involving a brown bull, a tale explaining how the coast
of Antrim was formed by a giant, and other tales about treachery,
bravery, and honor. Spirited
illustrations bring each tale to life, and a pronunciation guide is
included to assist with reading the unusual Irish names such as Ailill
and Daire Mac Fiachra. Told for hundreds of years, these stories are a
rich component of Irish history and will inspire great storytelling as
well as a renewed appreciation of folklore and fairy tales.
