Irish Myths and Legends, Vol 2

Dive into the heart of Gaelic legend with "Irish Myths and Legends, Vol 2." Lady Augusta Gregory's meticulous translation presents "Ireland's gift of imagination to the world" as Yeats eloquently remarked.

Readers will be captivated by his valor, the fierce Red Branch of Ulster, and the profound love story of Cuchulain and his devoted wife, Emer. Translated directly from the vibrant voice of Gaelic oral storytellers, this anthology stands as a pillar of Irish cultural heritage. Hardcover, 340 pages.
