From Kansas City Irish Center
Bitel retells little-known, anonymous tales from Ireland, written a thousand years ago or more, about human and supernatural lovers who cross the boundaries between our world and the Otherworld (síd). Set in a lost time of heroes, demi-gods, warrior queens, and otherfolk of the Irish Otherworld (áes síde), these stories inspired some of the earliest fairy tales of France and England--but they are sexier, funnier, and bloodier than better-known medieval myths and romances.
