and high deeds, which have been passed from generation to generation are
retold in her distinctive narrative style, brimming with magic and myth,

giant Finn, a titanic clash averted when Finn’s cunning wife Oonagh fools
the challenger into believing her husband is twice his actual size and
thrice stronger. There is a sweet and silly story about nasty fairies who
force a young lad to help them kidnap a French princess, another about a
brave man who vanquishes all his foes and never falters only to quake with
fear when he falls in love, and many more treasures.
