Reviews for Tales of Irish Myths
Rating: 4.333333333333333 out of 5 stars
4.5/5
24 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I always wondered why Greek, Roman, and Norse myths reign supreme while so many other cultures' go forgotten. In the case of Irish myths, I'm blaming the names. They're great stories, but nearly impossible to tell by a non-Celt (I'm half Irish, but cannot parse the spelling).
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wonderful reading of folk stories made better by native pronunciation.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Nice bedtime stories. I love the background music, and the fact that more than one narrator are narrating them.
