Collected from Gaelic-speaking storytellers in the west of Ireland, these long wonder tales follow kings’ sons, the Black Thief, Elin Gow the swordsmith and the Amadan Mor through enchanted castles, undersea kingdoms and the Lonesome Island where the sword of light is kept. Curtin’s introduction argues that their heroes descend from ancient gods.
