The Names Upon the Harp by Marie Heaney

A book of Irish myths with lovely illustrations by P. J. Lynch. I especially liked “The Birth of Cuchulainn”, “Bricriu’s Feast”, and “The Enchanted Deer”. Cuchulainn was born as Setanta, but he killed Chulainn’s dog and took the dog’s place, becoming the cu (or hound) of Chulainn. There are lovely little dodges and half turns throughout, in the same way that “The Birth of Cuchulainn” has two meanings. A good intro to some Irish mythology.
