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. Her descriptive writing and attention to detail makes the writing flow effortlessly across the page. The book doesn’t read like a collection of legends, but like a modern thriller.

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