In this work of historical non-fiction, Mangan weaves his way through the myth and folklore that has risen out of the ancient worship of nature. Taking us on a journey across Irish history, Manchan illustrates the power of myth in shaping an entire nation, and its people.
Magan’s novel is published by Gill & Macmillan, which was founded in 1968, and is responsible for the dissemination of the work of many great Irish writers, including Maureen Gaffney, Tom Garvin, Fintan O’Toole, and Éamon de Buitléar, to name but a few. As such, you can be sure that you’re in for an instant classic.
