Cuchulain becomes a warrior

I can’t read this slowly enough. The hero decides to live fast and die young and proves it with broken spears and smashed chariots and chasing the unattainable hot girl Emer, who tells him to kill a mountain of people before she will marry him. Brutal rejection.

Lugh and Bectera from the fairy hill with Fergus Mac Roy. Exquisite writing…

“In the great days long past, there was a King of Ulster whose name was Ross the Red, and Maga his Queen was a woman of the Sidhe, the Lordly Ones, whose home is in Tir-Nan-Og, the Land of Youth.”

Good lord this is a fine book!
