This captivating book, first published in 1911, brings to life the ancient Celtic tale of dragons, giants, fairies, and mermaids. Translated and annotated by J. F. Campbell, the central myth follows the heroic Fraoch on his perilous quest to slay a dragon, proving his courage and securing his place in legend.
