In Britain's land beyond the seas
The wind blows ever through the trees;
in Britain's land beyond the waves
are stony shores and stony caves.

So begins The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun, an early but seminal work that grew, along with the two "Corrigan" poems presented alongside it in this volume, from a comparatively short but intense period in Tolkien's life when he was deeply engaged with Celtic, and particularly Breton, myth and legend.
Aotrou and Itroun are a Breton lord and lady residing "in Britain's land beyond the seas" during the mythic age of chivalry. Childless and desperate for an heir, Aotrou seeks out a magic potion from a corrigan, or malevolent fairy. When the potion succeeds, the corrigan returns to demand her fee, and Aotrou is forced to choose between his marriage and his life.
Originally written in 1930 and long out of print, The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun may be set alongside Tolkien's The Legend of Sigurd and Gudr n, The Fall of Arthur, and The Story of Kullervo. Like these other retellings of myths and legends, it was a powerful influence on Tolkien's own legendarium.

Good Enough
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
They are well built, with enough cotton on the tips. the stem is not as sturdy as the brand name, it does tend to bend with normal use, but it is well priced. Good product overall.

Simple Everyday Basic That Works Well – 5 Stars
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
These are just good basic cotton swabs and honestly work just as well as more expensive brands I’ve bought before. The tips stay together well and don’t feel super flimsy, and the big pack lasts forever. Simple everyday item but definitely worth buying again.

Value for money
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
We reorder this item frequently. The cotton content is excellent and is thick. It doesn’t pull off easily. The quantity in the box is plenty to get our family of four through a month. If you have skin sensitivity, these are for you. We have sensitive skin in our family and have no concerns with this product. This product cleans well and the shape of the actual cotton tip holds well.
