Synopsis: These tales written for adults transport the reader to the farthest reaches of Irish memory with wisdom, wit, history, heroics, folly, conflict, quest, loyalty and the success of both rich and poor. You will read of the deeds of some of Ireland's most beloved, long enduring heroes of pre-history and myth including Finn M'Coul the revered giant of great deeds who when faced with a giant of equal power, turns to his wife for rescue and the Warrior maiden Meav who provokes a bloody battle because a cattleman won't sell her his prize bull. You will also find the Irish fairies, charms and castles, the blend of Celtic and Christian belief is ever present, and the lilting Irish way with words will draw you in to the realms of magical Irish lore.
