This eBook was produced by John B. Hare and Carrie Lorenz "HEROIC ROMANCES OF IRELAND, Translated into English Prose and Verse — Volume 2" by A. H. Leahy is a collection of ancient Irish tales, likely compiled during the late 19th century. This volume, part of a two-volume set, highlights the heroic narratives from Irish folklore, focusing on key figures such as Cuchulain and various lesser tales preceding the epic "Great Tain." The narratives explore themes of love, valor, and the supernatural, deeply rooted in the traditions of ancient Irish society. The opening of this volume presents a preface that sets the context for the tales to follow, along with a poetic introduction. It notes the prevalent customs of ancient Ireland, where shorter narratives served as preambles to the larger epic tales. Among the stories featured, "Tain Bo Fraich" depicts the adventures of Fraich, a son of a fairy mother, as he seeks the love of Finnabar, the daughter of the Connaught king Ailill and Queen Maev. The narrative intertwines elements of romance and supernatural occurrences, detailing Fraich's quest to prove his worth and the challenges he faces in a world filled with enchantments, battles, and tragic themes of loyalty and loss.
