great bedtime reading and the second half of the book is the story of Cuchalainn, one of the great Irish stories. very entertaining
This book is wonderful. In fact it's so wonderful my son borrowed it the day I got it and I haven't seen it since. I can't wait until he moves and I can go to his room and get it back. (Also, I was surprised it was a hard cover...I was expecting paperback.)
The classic for story tellers. Worth the purchase.
The book is amazing, the book I got was old and had yellowed pages, very thick and hefty. I love it. The combination of stories and prose is likable. The voices of Yeats and Lady Gregory are amazing to read and it is a truly incredible treasure trove of knowledge to possess.
Book condition is exactly as described-I’m very happy with it. Wonderful stories so far-very engaging! Seller also included a much appreciated metal Celtic themed bookmark-thank you!
Bought this book as a gift, and the recipient is spending a long, cold winter indoors, reading this book and staying cozy and warm. It was in excellent condition when I got it and I was pleased to include it in a Christmas package. Very good transaction with a reliable seller.
I love reading stories of various cultures' folktales, myths, and legends, and came across this title recently. What a magical reading experience!
