Myth, legend & romance : an encyclopaedia of the Irish folk tradition
Traditional stories, mythical narratives and long observed customs give a unique reflection of the psyche and cultural history of a people. Examine the folk tradition of Ireland-from the misty legends of the Tuatha De Danann, the martial glory of the Irish epics, to the gentler realm of the island's saints and scholars. Myth, Legend & Romance is the first standard reference book ever compiled combining the related fields of folklore, myth, legend and romance literature in one comprehensive volume
