Synopsis

Here are stories of magic, and enchantment, full of kings, fairies and heroes. You'll meet the Children of Lir who were turned into beautiful white swans, Deirdre who had no one to play with but was really a princess, and the savage and merciless King Balor and his Evil Eye. Many of these stories were told to the author as a child by her mother, who in turn would have learned them from her mother, and so on, down the ages.

Like other volumes in Oxford University Press' Myths and Legends series, this collection is aimed at young readers....Just as Gwyn Jones' excellent Welsh collection is a good introduction for young readers to the world of Welsh storytelling, so too is Daly's Irish volume as good an introduction to
Irish lore. -- Territorial Tattler
