Hardcopy is Very Good and Brodart-wrapped D/J is Good+ with slight wear and chipping on top edge. These are the qualities of Gaelic literature which the world will always hold dear. They are nowhere more clearly reflected than in the sagas, traditional tales, and semi-historical legends of early Ireland in this volume. Here are the stories of great Irish heroes as colorful s Ulysses and as powerful as Hercules -- men possessed of passion, robust good humor, and terrible courage. Her is Cu Chulainn, mighty champion of Ulstermen, fighting three days without rest and destroying, single-handed, three hundred enemies. Here are the tales of Mael Fothartaig and Deirdre. Here is the comic Diarmid. Selecting the best Gaelic poems and legends, translating some of them for the first time, and weaving them together with the story of their development and historical setting, Mr. Dillon introduces the modern reader to his great heritage from the Irish past.
