description
6This dual language pocket book represents a collection of new translations of several Irish myths. Each story is first presented in the original language and then in English so that a reader can experience the story as it existed in the original before reading a new translation. Many of the existing translations are around a hundred years old, and often either exclude material or else skew the retelling to fit the mores of a more Victorian audience. The translations included here in stories including Angus's Dream and the Taking of the Sidhe are an attempt to find a balance with a more literal translation that is still enjoyable to an English speaking audience. All material focuses on the stories of the Irish Gods, the Tuatha De Danann.
