A chairde,
I'm looking for dual language literature books: gaeilge on one page and the (english or other) translation on the opposite (facing page).

I bought one with short stories by P. Pearse some years ago edited by Mercier Press but have not found any others like it.

Do you know of other books like this, or similar translations of books within books, or other creative combinations of language within one object?

Le meas,
M.

There's FAVOURITE IRISH LEGENDS by Bairbre McCarthy, also edited by Mercier. It tells the stories of The Children of Lir, Balor Drochshúile and The Wooing of Etain. Aanother Mercier edition is IRISH PROVERBS IN ENGLISH AND IRISH BY Gabriel Rosenstock which puts the Irish version first and the back of the book is in English. Maybe Mercier would be the one to ask since all three books are theirs.

You might consider two dual language books in Irish folklore from Donegal, namely

The former comes with a tape but, alas, the later does not.
