The Red Hand, the iconic symbol of Ulster, has a fascinating origin story. It is believed to be the hand of Heremon, a chief who was so determined to claim the land for himself that he severed his own hand and threw it from a ship. This act of desperation is said to have marked the beginning of the Red Hand tradition.
While the Red Hand symbol is associated with violence and aggression, it is important to note that not all legends from Ulster are as gruesome. In this collection, we will explore a range of myths and stories from Ulster, including The Great Brown Bull, The Horsemen of Aileach, Paiste, The Great Black Pig, Maeve MacQuillan, Fintán, Febor, and Fia. These tales are filled with adventure, magic, and heroism, and they showcase the rich cultural heritage of the region.
The illustrations in this collection are truly captivating, brought to life by Conor Busuttil. His detailed and evocative artwork adds an extra layer of wonder to the stories and helps bring them to life for readers of all ages. Whether you are a fan of mythology, history, or just looking for a fun and engaging read, this collection of myths from Ulster is sure to captivate you.
So, take a journey through the land of the Red Hand and discover the fascinating stories that have shaped the culture and history of Ulster.
