Battles and Enchantments

The aim of this book is to retell that part of the myth-history of early Ireland which deals with the Tuatha De Dannan, or Fairies. The author has tried to preserve the temper of old Irish writing in both thought and form, to retain as much of the original beauty of phrase and imagery as is consistent with coherent narrative.Contents: The Landing of the DedannansThe Birth of BresThe Unjust KingThe Flight of BresThe Healing of NuadaThe Marvelous CowThe Story of EthneThe New ChampionPreparations for BattleThe Second Battle of MoyturaThe Dagda and His HarpThe Journey of IthThe Passing of the DedannansPronouncing Glossary
