Irish Mythology: Fionn & The Fianna: A Retelling of the Irish Fenian Cycle (Celtic Myths & Legends Retold) by Daniel Allison

STEP BACK IN TIME TO IRELAND’S LOST AGE OF LEGEND. The warriors of the Fianna lived for poetry and sword-play; for forest dawns and the raven-call of battle. They protected Ireland from invaders but more often, they fought one another. Join Fionn mac Cumhaill, Captain of the Fianna, as he tastes the Salmon of Knowledge. Journey with Ossian, who was raised by a deer, as he abandons his brothers for the Land of the Ever-Young. Witness the tragic breaking of the Fianna as Diarmuid, Fionn’s closest companion, elopes with Fionn’s bride. Filled with wild hunts and fairy feasts, terrifying ordeals and heartbreaking loss, Irish Mythology: Fionn & The Fianna is an elegy for a lost world of warrior-poets. ‘This book made me fall in love with my favourite stories all over again’ — Csenge Zalka, Folklorist Daniel Allison is an oral storyteller and USA Today bestselling author from Scotland.
