by Lizzy Shannon (Author)
The Celtic people are renowned for their love of stories and storytelling. This collection of rare and unusual tales, passed down through generations by word of mouth evokes the Celtic Other World of magic, heroic battles, and honor. Where the passion of ancient kings, queens, and warriors of Erin knew no mortal boundaries, where man fought sea serpents and giants, outwitted crafty sheehogues, and flew like seafoam on the wind, spirited through land and ocean by enchanted faery horses.
"A beautiful collection of twenty-three spectacular and unusual legends from Ireland. The rich language stays true to the poetry and character of fireside storytelling, yet sizzles with vivid imagery." - Thomas Nichols, Los Angeles CriticAuthor Biography
