A wonderful translation of these classic Irish tales that walk the line between Epic and pastoral folk tale.
Important as the earliest surviving source for the Irish hero tales. Striking for its friendly relations between St. Patrick and the surviving hero Cailte who tells the tales. Mildly disappointing for the episodic and formulaic qualities of the tales.
