This book represents the result of years of research, and has been presented in a way that is accessible to non-scholars, and includes translations of both Cath Maige Tuired and The Destruction of Dá Derga’s Hostel. It is well worth buying and reading (plug! plug!).
Congrats to Jacqueline Borsje on her recent publication. I took a look at its table of contents and it looks set to be a wonderful read and full of insighting ideas.
