Why read it?

1 author picked The High Deeds of Finn MacCool as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The renowned Rosemary Sutcliff examines the life and times of legendary hero, Finn MacCool in this modern and compelling book.

I highly recommend it, along with its companion book, The Hound of Ulster.

From Kieran's list on Irish fairytales, myths, and legends.
