The first part contains stories of the Tuatha De Danann, a mythical race of people who are said to have inhabited Ireland before the arrival of the Celts. The second part contains stories of the Fianna, a group of warriors who were renowned for their bravery and skill in battle. The third part contains stories of the High Kings of Ireland, who ruled the country in ancient times. The book is written in a style that is both poetic and engaging, and it is clear that O'Grady has a deep love and respect for the stories he is telling.

Patrick's two guardian angels came to him now: Aibellan and Solusbrethach, of whom he enquired whether in God's sight it were convenient for him to be listening to stories of the Fianna.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
