About this book
The Foray of Queen Meave, and Other Legends of Ireland's Heroic Age gathers legends under a title referring to Ireland's heroic age. The discussion of the Tain describes a work containing passion, humour and irony, whose ending brings a great battle and an overthrow without lasting results. The discussion of bards and clergy says that their rivalry could not be avoided but was often friendly.
Saint Patrick stretches his hand above the water and calls the Children of Lir back to their native land, declaring their long sea-penance fulfilled. Finola asks for baptism while the children are still living and decrees a grave where land and ocean meet, with their feet toward the holy altar.
