Also known as Irish Myths and Legends, it drew on oral history and manuscripts such as the12th century Book of Leinster. Lady Gregory retold the great myth cycles using the rhythms of English as it was spoken by those who had kept the Celtic traditions alive.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n  Please look closely at the photos as they are part of the description.
