Book Description
Standish James O'Grady (1846-1928) was an Irish author, journalist, and historian. His father was the Reverend Thomas O'Grady, the scholarly Church of Ireland minister of Castletown Berehaven, County Cork. He was a cousin of Standish Hayes O'Grady, another noted figure in Celtic literature. After a rather severe education at Tipperary Grammar School, O'Grady followed his father to Trinity College, Dublin, where he won several prize medals and distinguished himself in several sports. He proved too unconventional of mind to settle into a career in the church, and qualified as a lawyer, though earning much of his living by writing for the Irish newspapers. However, a chance discovery of a book of Celtic literature inspired him. After an initial lukewarm response to his writing on the legendary past in History of Ireland: Heroic Period (1878-81) and Early Bardic Literature, Ireland (1879), he realized that the public wanted romance, and so followed the example of James McPherson in recasting Irish legends in literary form, producing historical novels including The Coming of Cuculain (1894), The Chain of Gold (1895) and The Flight of the Eagle (1897).

The Red Branch feasted one night in their great hall at Emain Macha. So vastwas the hall that a man, such as men are now, standing in the centre and shoutinghis loudest, would not be heard at the circumference, yet the low laughter of theKing sitting at one end was clearly audible to those who sat around the Champion atthe other. The sons of Dithorba made it, giants of the elder time, labouring thereunder the brazen shoutings of Macha and the roar of her sounding thongs. Itslength was a mile and nine furlongs and a cubit. With her brooch pin she ploughedits outline upon the plain, and its breadth was not much less. Trees such as theearth nourished then upheld the massy roof beneath which feasted that heroicbrood, the great-hearted children of Rury, huge offspring of the gods and giantsof the dawn of time. For mighty exceedingly were these men. At the noise of themrunning to battle all Ireland shook, and the illimitable Lir [Footnote: Lir was thesea-god, the Oceanns of the Ce
