The entire story is a narrative told by a peasant and the text is virtually all dialogue written in his accent/dialect which makes it impossible to read. I tried several times to get through it, its only about five pages in length, but I just could not do it even scanning it. The terrible method kept me apart from the story. Otherwise, most of the tales are fine.
My favorite was the first, The Fate of the Children of Lir. The Brewery of Eggshells, Diarmid and Grainne, and Oisin in Tir Na Nog were the best besides my favorite. Honorable mentions to The Story of Deirdre, The Giant's Stairs, and The Crookened Back.
The art, on the other hand, I enjoyed quite a bit. If anything it's a quick read, a short book, and the art is worth a couple of bucks to ogle at occasionally. It was okay.
