Title: This is GOOD!
Review: Having heard it referenced so many times (and finally figuring out how to pronounce it!)I finally bought The Tain. I'm glad it did; it is certainly of great historical value and (more importantly) an exciting tale. It will give you a frame of reference for all those fragments of old stories you hear about Deirdre and Cuchulainn and dozen others; it brings them altogether in order and in relation to each other, and it's fun to read. It rambles at times, it exaggerates unapologetically, and sometimes it's confusing, but that's all in the nature of Celtic storytelling. Enjoy it!
