by L. Winifred Faraday (Translator)
The Cattle Raid of Cualnge, also known as Tain Bo Cuailnge, is an ancient Irish epic poem that tells the story of a legendary cattle raid. This epic has been passed down through oral tradition for centuries and was eventually transcribed into written form. In this book, L. Winifred Faraday provides a complete translation of the epic into English, allowing readers to experience the rich and complex world of ancient Ireland. The story follows the hero Cuchulainn as he defends his homeland against a raid by Queen Medb of Connacht, who seeks to steal the prized bull of Cualnge. Along the way, readers will encounter a cast of memorable characters, from warrior queens to magical druids. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Irish mythology and folklore, as well as those who enjoy epic tales of adventure and heroism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
