Irish Fairy Tales and Legends

Rating:
Summary: Most complete, detailed and fun book of Irish tales
Review: This is a wonderful book for teaching about Irish legends and fairy tales. The tales are longer and more complete - i.e. Tir na n-Og starts with Niamh suffered a curse by her father, and the only way to remove the curse was to marry a son of Fionn Mac Cumhail, the story then continues with the traditional story. There are more stories in this book than I've found in any other Irish fairy tale books (three alone with Fionn Mac Cumhail). Uses very traditional Irish spelling, and comes complete with pronunciation guide. From the O'Brien Press in Dublin.
