4.0 out of 5 stars If you are a die hard fan of Irish Myth, October 3, 2000

This review is from: Legends of Ireland [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This set has a lot of interesting opinions on the famous myths of Ireland and has some beautiful aerial views of Tara but I found the narrator to be repetitive and redundant the only reason I gave the set such a high score is because the tapes are produced fairly well and I think that they would be wonderful videos to show in Literature classes(High School particularly) to emphasize Irish mythology (which sometimes gets glossed over... if it's even covered) The tape about The Warrior Queen Maeve retells rather quickly the story of Cuhulain and the cattle raid of Cooley a good way to introduce others to some of the less widely known Irish Myths.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable!, September 6, 2000

This review is from: Legends of Ireland [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This set is fantastic. There are 3 videos in the set. One follows spiritual leaders, with the legends of St. Patrick and Brian the Navigator an Irish monk who "discovered" America. Another looks at legends of Fairies and Leprechauns. The final video looks at the legend of Grace O'Malley the Pirate Queen, whose story would make such a fantastic miniseries. I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed these videos. Highly recommended.
