TAIN

When the ancient history of Ulster is all but forgotten, the spirit of a warrior rises from the dead to tell the tales of Cú Chulainn, who single-handedly battled the forces of Ireland.

In the north of Ireland stands a ring of stones carved with ogham symbols that only Druids knew how to read. It's to this enchanted place the ghost of a chariot driver brings a young man to give him the tales of heroes, fiends, and goddess long gone...by entering them through the magic of the stones. Here they will behold:
• How two enchanted pig-keepers for the faery folk, the Sidhe, met their doom.
• How pillow talk between King Ailell of Connacht and his insatiable Goddess-Queen led to a murderous rivalry.
• How a boy-king, Conchovor, fell madly and venomously in love with the girl known as Derdriu of the Sorrows.
• And how Ulster's greatest champion, Cú Chulainn, battled alone against all the armies and enchantments of the treacherous Queen Maeve.
For this is the greatest tale of ancient Ireland, the Táin bo Cuailnge--the cattle raid that changed the history of a land.
