Dublin: O’Brien Press, 2001. 93 pages. Illustrated. Paperback.
Fascinating stories from the magical world of ancient Celtic lore.
The Celts were great storytellers. Many of their most exciting tales involve the Fianna, that famous band of warriors, led by the mighty Fionn Mac Cumhaill, whose heroic exploits have captured the imagination of listeners and readers down through the centuries.
In these four stories we follow Fionn and his comrades into the deadly danger of the Enchanted Palace, travel with them to the land under the sea to rescue their friends from the spell of the Giolla Deacair and see them outwit the vengeful widow Ailne and her magician brother. The last story is one of the best-loved Celtic legends, Oisin and Niamh Cinn Oir, - when Fionn’s son, Oisin, follows his bride to Tir na nOg - the Land of Eternal Youth.
