Narrator Liam Gerrard on THE ADVENTURES OF FINN MACCOOL

Liam Gerrard tells AudioFile listeners about collecting and narrating the stories in THE ADVENTURES OF FINN MACCOOL AND OTHER IRISH FOLKTALES, which was a finalist in the 2024 Audie Awards. Enter a lost world of fairy queens, changelings, and mischief.

"We go mad for our own folklore stories, things like the Marvel stories, these superheroes that we like to hear the stories of in films and Hollywood, so why not some of the Irish heritage stories, these stories that have been passed down through generations for hundreds of years?" — Narrator Liam Gerrard

With his fancy-free tone and a charming Irish lilt, Liam Gerrard has a great time reading this entertaining collection of classic Irish folktales, tall tales, and poems. All are centered on the larger-than-life exploits of the ancient clan leader, seer, and poet Finn MacCool. Knockgrafton, Cuchulain of Muirthemne, the Gilla Dacker, and the Ninepenny Fidil—these wonderfully fun and evocative names and titles happily roll off Gerrard's tongue. Additionally, Gerrard's performance of the "Lament of the Last Leprechaun" will bring tears to listeners' eyes. A fine introduction to the stories and sounds that have created the Irish mystique.
