Reviews for Finscealta na Heireann (Legends of Ireland)

Improving Irish language readers will find the perfect opportunity to sharpen their skills with this keepsake translation of Massey’s original collection of old Irish fairytales. Classic tales like Clann Lir {The Children of Lir), An Bradan Feasa (The Salmon of Knowledge), and Oisin in Tir na nOg are recounted in a style that begs to be read aloud with little ones. Watercolour illustrations from Jackson bring a nostalgic feel to this book -- Irish Examiner
