Oxford Children's Myths and Legends bring you the greatest stories ever told, from around the world and long ago. Heroes and villains, witches and wizards, warriors and royalty - there's something here for everyone.

This wonderful collection is drawn from a long tradition of story-telling--tales that have been retold and passed down from generation to generation. Read about how the children of Lir were turned into swans, what happens to anyone who dares to look into King Balor's evil eye, and about many more magical characters and heroic adventures.

One of four collections being published to launch the Oxford Children's Myths and Legends series - other titles are Stories from Wales, Stories from Scotland and Stories from England
