Ireland is littered with lakes, and while the words lake monster' typically bring to mind a certain Scottish lake's famous inhabitant, most of us don't realize - or don't know - that Ireland has some lake monsters of its own! From weird legends of lakes' creations, to ferocious serpent- and otter-like monsters, to sword-wielding, fighting saints, Irish Lake Marvels is the first book to deal with the fascinating legends, folktales, and supernatural beings of Ireland's lakes. Going county-by-county in detailing these numerous stories, John Dunne demonstrates how anyone living in or visiting Ireland has most likely been to one of these legendary lakes.
