These nine anonymous Irish tales, all more than a thousand years old, tell of mortals and supernatural creatures who dared to cross the boundary between this world and the Otherworld (síd) in pursuit of love. The stories--hardly known outside of Ireland--are sexier, funnier, and bloodier than better-known medieval myths and romances. Lisa M. Bitel, a historian and novelist, translates and retells the Irish originals in lively prose and poetry, using her expertise in Irish history and literature to guide modern readers through the otherworldly stories. Original drawings by Saba Joshaghani accompany these ravishing tales of wonder and romance.
