Hero-Tales of Ireland

by Jeremiah Curtin

Hero-Tales of Ireland Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Once upon a time all of the legends of Fin MacCool were written down for posterity; Saint Patrick, however, ordered two-thirds of them destroyed so that the people of Erin would do more than simply listen to them. Fortunately, many Fenian tales survive, and this captivating collection features 24 tales of superhuman heroes and their adventures. Compiled by a 19th-century ethnographer from the Smithsonian Institution, this volume abounds in fantastic accounts of bold warriors who battle dragons and giants, outwit sorcerers, and overcome death itself.

Synopsis:

24 exciting authentic tales of Fin MacCool deal with superhuman heroes battling dragons and giants, outwitting sorcerers, even overcoming death itself.
