Irish Fairy Tales is a selection of mythical stories highlighting
themes of love, duty and deception in the magical setting of
ancient and medieval Ireland. Each narrative presents internal and
external conflicts that test the moral code of its leading
characters. James Stephens explores Ireland's cherished history
though the eyes of fabled hunters, soldiers, kings and queens. Many
stories feature the Fianna, a group of tribal warriors, and their
legendary leader, Fionn mac Cumhaill. Other tales include "The
Wooing of Becfola," "Becuma of the White Skin" and "Mongan's
Frenzy." It's a marvelous display of culture and tradition that
balances morality with adventure. With colorful prose and larger
than life characters, Irish Fairy Tales delves into the Fenian
Cycle-a prominent part of both Irish and Scottish mythology. This
spirited retelling captivates readers pulling them into a world of
wonder and mystery. It's one of Stephens' most successful works and
has been a literary staple for generations. With an eye-catching
new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of
Irish Fairy Tales is both modern and readable.
