sig... abbandonato solo per mancanza di tempo... lo ricomincerĂ² in tempi migliori! ( )

This is one of those books I have yet to read. This is not to say I have not started it, it is simply one of those that I have yet to succeed in finishing.
When the time is right, when I'm in the mood for the particular style this re-telling of a legend is written in, I'll take it down.
It is definitely to be kept in the legend section of the library, though! ( )

Finn Mac Cool, son of Cuhal Mac Trenmor and Muirinn of the White Throat, is a man of myth and legend who was a small leader of a group of fennidi, but rose to lead the warriors of the Fianna who guarded the King of Tara. He married his beloved Sive on a day of battle and they struggle through the struggles of their homeland. Wonderful story of the early days of Ireland and its legends.

I just can't say enough good things about this author. Another exciting story about a legendary (third century)Irish warrior. Read it - end everything else by Llywelyn. ( )
