Irish Myth and LegendWho were Ossian, Cuchulain, Finn MacCool and Conn of the Hundred Battles? What was Tir na nOg and where was Hy-Brasil? In this book Ronan Coghlan not only answers these questions, but lists and describes over five hundred gods, demons and giants, places, objects and events which figure in the fantastical myths and legends of Ireland. This beautifully illustrated and handy reference work will not only prove invaluable to schoolchildren and students, but will also appeal to those to whom the Tuatha de Danaan, the Fianna, the Milesians, the Formorians and the Firbolg are little more than names and who are interested in acquiring a greater knowledge of them.
