Editorial reviews
James Stephens' retelling of 10 Irish fairy tales is a true delight, and narrator Kevin Stillwell's understated performance highlights their charm. The stories are set in a medieval Ireland filled with larger-than-life hunters, warriors, kings, and magical creatures; many of the tales are derived from the Fenian cycle of Irish mythology. Listeners will thrill to the stories of the Fianna and their leader Fionn mac Cumhaill as he embarks on adventures with druids and enchanted children. Stillwell's delivery of Stephens' words captures their poetic cadence wonderfully.

For an American audience
Before writing my own review I was curious to see what others had thought. I had to agree with the man who was appalled by the fact that audible couldn't find an irishman or woman under a rock somewhere. This narrator absolutely butchers his pronunciations and I winced every time. I can appreciate for American audiences it will be a far more enjoyable listen because the stories are worthwhile and if you're not hung up on the lingo go for it.
