Good stories told well!,

This review is from: Irish Hero Tales (Paperback)
This book would be a wonderful introduction to Celtic myths for a middle-grade student. The reading level is about fifth grade, but stronger readers would enjoy it. The writing style is such that it would make a good read-aloud book in a classroom. The stories are neatly connected to each other where appropriate. Several of the traditional Celtic figures are here: Cuhullain, Finn MacCumhal, and Lugh. Saint Patrick makes an appearance in a very Celtic context. These stories are short but vivid and well-told in ordinary language that still has a tone of magic about it. The stark black and white illustrations are very effective. It's similar in strengths to the author's "Irish Animal Tales," which would appeal to the same group of young readers.
