This children's book tells the story of Finn, who was the father of the great poet Ossian. This is a story of the influence of St. Patrick (and hence Christianity) on the Irish people, with the mythical Finn as the centerpiece of this emergence of an Irish sentiment. A very interesting study in early Irish/pagan/druid history filled with all the usual characters including dragons and warriors and mystics. Standish James O'Grady (1846-1928) was a leading figure in the Irish Celtic literary renaissance. He grew up under the old feudal regime, passed through the great agrarian revolution, and finally lived to see Southern Ireland a Free State, ruled by a democracy.

Contains Standish James O'Grady's important but little-known pieces from "The Irish Worker", written in 1912-13. Although usually regarded as a Protestant unionist, O'Grady was always a maverick and shared the columns of "The Irish Worker" with socialists such as Jim Larkin and Sean O'Casey.

Presents the author's last work which he was editing at the time of his death in 1928.
