Irish Legends for Children

These six Irish legends, passed down from generation to generation, will fascinate children of any heritage. In addition to the inherent attraction of knights, dragons, and magic, these stories will also appeal to children, who will identify with the underlying theme of the journey into adulthood.

These tried-and-true tales will not only entertain children, but will also teach them of the rich cultural history of Ireland.

The legends are taken primarily from two cycles in Irish lore: An Ruraiocht (The Red Branch Knights Cycle) and An Fhiannaiocht (The Fianna Cycle).
