Irish Legends for Children

Once upon a time, kings, knights, and dragons roamed the verdant hills of Ireland, and druids used their sorcery for both good and evil. It was a time of magic. It was a time of warriors. It was a time of legends. The six legends presented here are taken primarily from two cycles in Irish lore: An R raIocht (The Red Branch Knights Cycle) and An FhiannaIocht (The Fianna Cycle). These stories have been passed down from generation to generation in Ireland but will delight children of any heritage. They deal with many diverse topics, yet they all share an underlying theme: the journey into adulthood.
