N2  - One of Ireland's greatest collections of stories and poems,　The Dialogue of the　Ancients of Ireland　is a new translation by Maurice Harmon of the 12th century　Acallam na Senorach.　Retold in a refreshing modern idiom, the　Dialogue　is an　extraordinary account of journeys to the four provinces by St Patrick and the　pagan Cailte, one of the surviving Fian. Within the frame story are over 200　other stories reflecting many genres - wonder tales, sea journeys, romances,　stories of revenge, tales of monsters and magic. The poems are equally varied　lyrics, nature poems, eulogies, prophecies, laments, genealogical poems. After　the　Tain BoCuailnge,　the　Acallam　is the largest surviving prose work in Old and　Middle Irish.
