Grá mo Chroí 'Love of my Heart' Love Stories from Irish Myth

Long ago on a green island surrounded by billowing mists, a people lived among the relics of a bygone age of which they knew nothing, but around which they created a mythology. They were a volatile people, easily moved to love or war, and motivated by a strict sense of honour. They had women warriors and handsome lovers, wicked queens and cruel kings, precious heroines and flawed heroes. Magic was in the air, beneath the ground, and in the waves of the sea, and hyperbole was the stuff of stories. They were the Irish, and these are a few retellings of some of their beautiful stories.
