Publisher's Synopsis

Stories From The Tain is a book written by John Strachan and originally published in 1908. It is a collection of stories based on the Irish epic T�����in B������ C������ailnge, which is also known as The Cattle Raid of Cooley. The T�����in B������ C������ailnge is considered one of the greatest works of early Irish literature and tells the story of a war between the provinces of Ulster and Connacht over a prized bull. Strachan's book includes retellings of several key episodes from the T�����in B������ C������ailnge, including the story of the hero C������chulainn and his battles against the armies of Connacht, as well as the tale of the warrior queen Medb and her quest to capture the bull. The stories are written in a style that is accessible to modern readers while still retaining the flavor of the original epic.In addition to the retellings of the T�����in B������ C������ailnge, Stories From The Tain also includes an introduction that provides background information on the epic and its place in Irish literature. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Irish mythology and folklore, as well as for those who simply enjoy a good story.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1908 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
