This week on Fireside is the most famous tale from the Mythological Cycle, and probably the most famous Irish myth of all time: The Children of Lir.

The Children of Lir is an imaginative, vivid and deeply tragic tale, of a man's love for his children, a step mother's jealousy and the 900 year torment she cursed them with.
