g Fergus and King Iubdan. 8. Chase of the Gilla Dacar. 9. Oisin in the land of youth. _Sources for the story teller:_ Curtin, Jeremiah. Hero tales of Ireland. For the most part disconnected stories of adventure, which, though full of interest, lack the peculiar Celtic flavor. Contains: Chase of the Gilla Dacar. Gregory, Augusta, _lady_. Cuchulain of Muirthemne. The most detailed account of Cuchulain told with great sympathy in dignified, often metrical prose.

An abridged and adapted version of the Cuchulain legend that retains much of the heroic spirit. Requires little preparation from the story teller. Contains: Cuchulain's youth, Strife for the dun cow, Cuchulain's death, Fate of the sons of Usna. Joyce, P.W. Old Celtic romances.
