Myths & Legends

Enjoy the rich mythical history of Ireland from the arrival of the Tuatha De Danann on the island and their great battles with the Fomorians right up to the modern day fairytales of Irish storytelling. Featuring heroes such as Cuchulainn and Fionn Mac Cumhaill as well as many traditional fairy tales such as The Children of Lir.

Bestselling authors Brian and Wendy Froud bring a brand-new dimension to their world of faery: intimate portraits of fairies alongside stories told by the fairies themselves.

First written down in the eighth century AD, these early Irish stories depict a far older world - part myth, part legend and part history. Rich with magic and achingly beautiful, they speak of a land of heroic battles, intense love and warrior ideals, in which the otherworld is explored and men mingle freely with the gods.
