Format:Paperback
These traditional Irish tales are retold in the same vivid lyrical style that makes Rosemary Sutcliffe's historical fiction so enjoyable. They tell of the Fianna,their heroic leader Finn MacCool, and their adventures, battles, and dealings with the Fairy Kind in the rolling hills of Killarney. As the author says they "are full of loose ends and contradictions, and unexplained wisps of stangeness...made simply for the delight of story-making".
Written for children but an enthralling introduction to Irish myths for all ages. Ideal for reading aloud - magical, and bloodthirsty enough to delight even the Roald Dahl generation.

I bought the book to read as a bedtime story to my daughter. I remember most of the stories from when I was young, so looking forward to passing them on to another generation.
The book itself is in great condition, although came with a different front cover than shown on the advert - but I am sure that this will not stop my daughter's enjoyment of these classic tales.

That fighting Irishman, Finn Mac Cool
19 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
I read this book a while ago and it's still alive in my mind. Rosemary Sutcliff writes with depth and accuracy of history and myth, that I'm sure if you could read all her books, you'd know just about everything. Finn Mac Cool is written in a beautiful style that puts you in the character's place. The flow and incredible scenery of the book makes it a good read for girls, and the intense attraction and gore is active enough for boys to read over and over. A wonderful read for any boy or girl, no mater their age.
