This is a collection of classic Irish legends, retold for children of eight and over by an accomplished writer, and exquisitely illustrated in full colour by an award-winning illustrator. Fiercely fought battles, passionate romances, spells and curses, heroes and villains, loyalty and betrayal: these ancient tales combine all the essential ingredients of great drama with unforgettable storytelling. Marie Heaney and PJ Lynch provide their own interpretation of one of the world's greatest literary traditions in this stunning collection, which includes a previously unpublished poem translated from the Irish by Seamus Heaney.
