Ireland is a land rich in history, culture and myth. It’s a landscape born of fire, carved by ice and sculpted by humanity. It’s a place of esoteric sayings, warm welcomes and fond goodbyes. Its inhabitants are charming, humble and authentic.
This book touches on those ideas, but mainly it deals with the strange and incredulous goings on of the islands far away past.
We meet Cessair, who thought nothing of splitting three shipwrecked lads among one hundred and fifty energetic women. Resulting in one poor guy turning into a fish rather than suffer the fate of his companions.
We meet Partholón, one of the worst sons in history as he colonises the island and misses out on an orgy.
There’s the magick and majesty of the Tuath Dé, the infighting and treachery of the first kings and the dark macabre shenanigans of the Fomorians, the most beautiful of monsters.
Invasions is the story of Irelands first people as seen by historians and the ancients themselves.
It is an irreverent, ridiculous and sometimes sublime no holds barred trip through the mythology of Ireland.
