Tales of Britain and Ireland

4: The Boyhood of Fionn Part 2

We continue our look into the beginnings of the Fenian cycle with a grisly plot item, a definitive answer to the question of whether fish-oils are good for the brain (in very specific circumstances), one weird trick to beat narcolepsy and an obligatory climactic shown down for the young Fionn Mac Cumhaill.

3: The Boyhood of Fionn Part 1
