A wonderful way to explore Ireland. The myths were well written, well voiced, and well chosen. Their introductions could be a little hard to follow, with references to names and myths not covered in the book. If I owned this book I would use it as an trip planner, reading the myths as I drove to the referenced locations.

A great book to have if you are visiting Ireland, and would like to see all the amazing sites there but don't really know much of the mythologies associated with them, and don't really want an in-depth look at these stories just enough to know their significance...

I really enjoyed this exploration of some of Ireland’s most mythical spots and their associated stories. Massey has a certain knack for bringing the reader right to the spot geographically, and then turning the world on its head by diving into the historical tales at the center of Ireland’s draw for so many. These are stories I heard during my time abroad and have returned to again and again, and how wonderful that this easily digestible compilation exists. Now to hop in a car and hit every single spot!
