| 520 | 8 | |a A mysterious woman appears nightly at the bedside of a prince & sings to him until he falls sick with love for her. A determined hero tracks his beloved through several incarnations, struggling to win her back. A young warrior seeks a woman who turns into a swan. These are the plots of little-known tales composed over a thousand years ago in the monastic libraries of Ireland. In poetry & prose, they tell us what happens when human & supernatural lovers cross the boundaries between our world & the Otherworld. Set in a lost time of heroes, demi-gods, warrior queens, & other folk of the Irish Otherworld, these stories inspired some of the earliest fairy tales. What is more, they are sexier, funnier, & bloodier than better-known medieval myths & romances. In 'Otherworld', Lisa M. Bitel offers lively retellings of these Irish original myths using her expertise in Irish history & literature to guide modern readers. | |
