In this collection of stories published in 1920, James Stephens carefully selected ten classic Irish myths for us. Using imagination as a wing, he takes readers between the human world and the alien world, leading us to follow Tuan to the uninhabited Ireland, to be frightened by the fight between the Fiona warriors and the alien witches, and to mourn for Finn's soullessness after losing his lover. In these legendary heroes, we can see not only the noble qualities of bravery and loyalty, but also the true human nature of jealousy and stubbornness.

The plot of this book attracted me very much. I particularly liked Tuan's story. His experience made me feel the ups and downs of life. The characters have distinct personalities, such as Finn's persistence and Becofla's bravery. These stories not only show the beauty and ugliness of human nature, but also give me a deeper understanding of the mythical world of Ireland, which is like experiencing a fantasy adventure.
