Irish Myths and Legends by Lady Augusta Gregory

The myths and legends of Ireland are as rich and evocative as any in the world, yet until the 20th century these stories were almost unknown to a wider audience, In 1904, Lady Augusta Gregory, a key figure of the Irish Literary Revival, published a work called Gods and Fighting Men: The Story of the Tuatha de Danaan and of the Fianna of Ireland. Also known as Irish Myths and Legends, it drew on oral history and manuscripts such as the12th century Book of Leinster. Lady Gregory retold the great myth cycles using the rhythms of English as it was spoken by those who had kept the Celtic traditions alive.
