Who has not heard of Tara? When you look at it to-day you see a long low hill studded with grass covered mounds and rings.

What do the old Tales tell us of this famous site of the Capital of the Kings? What splendour, romance and tragedy lie hidden there, from the dawn of things, down through the great kings to St. Patrick, to the last king, Diarmaid?

The story which the author tells from the old manuscripts will people the famous site for you with the great and romantic people of the past.

How much of these times remain to us hidden under these mounds will be revealed by the present scientific explorations.
