4.0 out of 5 stars
A gem for Irish students,
By A Customer
This review is from: Favourite Irish Legends in Irish and English: A Dual Language Book (Paperback)
What Bairbre McCarthy has done with this volume, is present selected Irish legends with the Irish and English pages printed facing each other, allowing one to read and either text (or both).
I like this technique; it allows the reader to see the Irish, page for page with the English translation. It gratifies the curious and assists the student at the same time. Friends, who speak Irish, tell me that the English translations are accurate. If you enjoy Irish stories, or are learning to speak and read Irish, then I suggest that you add this little volume to your collection.

This review is from: Favourite Irish Legends in Irish and English: A Dual Language Book (Paperback)
This book has four delightful stories in it, side by side English and Irish. It's a nice little read, but rather short.
