Explanation In Favor Of Books The Magic Cup

In this novel of legendary Ireland, Andrew Greeley takes you back into a long-ago time of mists and magic, faith and love. Here you will find Cormac MacDermot, the young king destined to lead Ireland out of paganism to Christianity; his aged father, now on the throne, and the seductive witch-queen who holds the country in thrall. Here you will also meet the lovely slave girl Brigid. As light-footed as an Irish pixie, she will help Cormac seek the magic cup that will confirm his right to be High King of Ireland.

Over mountain and river they will journey, beset by perils. But when their enemies capture Brigid, and Cormac strives to save her, the High King will see that the little slave girl is a great deal more than she seems...

Piece Appertaining To Books The Magic Cup

The book gets more exciting as they go on the journey for the magic cup. Both of them got on my nerves sometimes , but I really loved the characters. Especially 'Biddy' because she was so smart and reminded me of Saint Bridget

This little book came up in a search for information about the Arthur/hero legend. I enjoy Greeley's other fiction, and this one is a little different because it's a re-telling of an Irish legend. Fun and easy for a hot summer afternoon!

The debut novel of this prolific writer, this story is the grail legend told from an Irish point of view. Cormac McDermot is to be king after his father, the ailing doddering man who is bewitched by the evil Finnabair. But first he must find the grail cup, the magic cup, with only his wits, his faithful dog, Podragic, and his bondwoman (slave) Brigid, who has made an enemy of the queen-witch.Adventures abound, and magic is afoot as Cormac, the High King, fights to find the magic princess and the

This book felt like it took me forever to finish. It was boring, there I said it. I didn't get a good feel for the characters mostly because they were very obsessed with sex. I am sorry but Women do think about sex 24/7 that's just men. Though for all of the obsessing over touching and caressing I do have to admit that the book doesn't get much more graphic than nudity. At least it's a clean obsession. Also there these huge gaps in the action. You are reading and then you have to stop and go

The Magic Cup is Greeley's version of an irish legend involving a magic cup and a magic princess, a take on the grail legends. Cormac MacDermot is Ireland's Expected High King, and while he may not know what he wants, he does know he doesn't want to be king. His father is dying and under the control of a witch who is destroying Ireland when he finds out that the people believe him to be the hero of an old legend. He decides that he must trace that hero's journey and find his magic cup and the

I had trouble getting into this book. Couldn't do it, as much as I like the legend, and as much as I like Greeley.

Were it not Saint Patrick's Day I most likely would not have picked it up but as such it was a fun read for me, quite refreshing in its treatment towards men, Kings in particular, and women of the Dark Ages and a new view of the Serarch for the Holy Grail.I did get a little bored on the meandering style of Mr. Greeley but enjoyed none the less.
