Irish Legends for Children

Once upon a time, kings, knights, and dragons roamed the verdant hills of Ireland, and druids used their sorceryfor both good and evil. It was a time of magic. It was a time of warriors. Itwas a time of legends.The six legends presented here aretaken primarily from two cycles in Irish lore: An Rrai1/2ocht (The RedBranch Knights Cycle) and An Fhiannai1/2ocht (The Fianna Cycle). Thesestories have been passed down from generation to generation in Ireland but willdelight children of any heritage. They deal with many diverse topics, yet theyall share an underlying theme: the journey into adulthood.
