The O’Brien Book of Irish Fairy Tales and Legends - Una Leavy
Irish fairy tales and legends are full of enchantment, brave deeds and
lost loves. Told from generation to generation,
they are as fascinating now as they were to their original listeners.
Wonderfully rich and varied, these ten of the best-loved traditional Irish stories are retold by author and poet Una Leavy. "The Post of Gold" captures the trickery and mischief of leprechauns; the story of Oisin in Tír na n-Óg marks the end of the great Fianna. From 2000 years ago comes The Children of Lir … all stories to be treasured for years to come.
Susan Field’s beautiful illustrations are inspired by ancient Celtic art and culture. They capture the wealth of tradition, the humour and the magic of these great stories.
