Lady Augusta Gregory's Irish Myths and Legends is a definitive collection of Irish mythology featuring tales of the Tuatha Dé Danann, Cú Chulainn, and Fionn mac Cumhaill. Through Gregory's literary retelling of ancient stories, the book preserves Ireland's mythological heritage and the epic cycles that defined Celtic culture. The collection becomes both historical document and living mythology, proving that ancient stories remain powerful when told with respect and artistry.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Gregory preserved Irish mythology at a crucial moment when oral traditions were disappearing. This collection reminds us that myths aren't dead stories—they're living traditions that continue to shape how we understand heroism, fate, and the relationship between humans and the divine.
