Ireland: its myths and legends

by Kay Retzlaff

With its breathtaking photography and captivating stories, Its Myth and Legends surpasses most introductions to Irish folklore. Aware of Ireland's oral tradition of sharing its legends, the book uses dialogue to tell vivid stories, like "The Twins of Macha" and "The Adventures of Cormac." It's a perfect book for reading aloud to children, but its cultural significance and stunning photography make it well-suited for adult libraries.
