The Tain is an absolute gem for anyone delving into Irish mythology. It combines solid scholastic research with storytelling that captures the spirit of the original epic. I was particularly impressed by the clarity of explanations accompanying each section, which enriched my understanding profoundly. Furthermore, it arrived sooner than expected and was well-packaged, protecting the book from any damage. For anyone interested in Celtic lore, or even new readers seeking an introduction to the legends of the Ulster Cycle, this is a must-have! Highly recommended.

The Tain provides a thorough introduction to the Ulster Cycle. The narrative remains compelling and the additional commentary brings context that is both accessible and insightful for the modern reader. I bought this as part of a membership promotion, which was a nice bonus. The book did take a bit longer to arrive than anticipated, but it was worth the wait. Overall, it is a very helpful guide, making the complex stories quite understandable.
