Mark Joyce is following on from the success of his two previous books in the Mythical Irish Series. This book is full of curious facts about the Gods and Goddesses of Ireland, including the ever favourite Bridget, Mananan Mac Lir, the sea god and Lugh, of the long arm.
Did you know that Aine is the goddess of Summer and that we get the name of Ireland from the Goddess Ériu? The magical dog ‘Failinis' is the god of dogs and she could ward off the enemy with a noxious gas. She was described as more beautiful than the sun and could turn water into mead.
This book is a fabulous journey through the myths of Ireland with the old Irish gods as your guide. It features over 45 gods and goddesses, a ‘must have' for kids and adults alike who have any interest in Irish mythology.
