1997 signed PB in excellent condition, 61-pages. Bilingual Irish/English. Presents three of the most famous Irish legends in English with parallel text in Irish Gaelic on facing pages. 'The Children of Lir' ('Leanai Lir') is accompanied by 'Balor of the Evil Eye' ('Balor Drochshuile') and the beautiful, tragic 'Wooing of Etain' ('Toraiocht Etain'). The book is a unique introduction to the legends, bringing them to life both in English and in Irish.

From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "A nice little volume of traditional tales in side-by-side Irish and English. A bit slim for monolingual readers, but probably plenty substantial for beginner and intermediate language learners."; "Is maith liom! Perfect for practicing my Irish skills!"; " Charming stories in an easy dual language format. This was great Irish reading practice and the stories were fun to read. It's a children's book, essentially, but that's perfect for someone learning a language. Definitely recommend this book for someone learning Irish."
