The Lore of Ireland

"Ireland has one of the finest heritages of traditional culture and story, and a standard reference book covering the broad range of that material is long overdue. This volume combines the many strands of Ireland's heritage: folklore, myth, legend and romance. It includes 350 substantial entries, in alphabetical order from Aban, a sixth-century saint, to weather, all with references to sources, a synopsis of relevant stories and discussion of their origin, nature and development." "So, from the misty lore of the Tuatha De Danann to the dramatic realms of saints and scholars and to larger-than-life figures such as Daniel O'Connell and Michael Collins, this book opens a window on Ireland the Irish."--Jacket.
