** The P. W. Joyce translation describes the voyagers being feasted by the island queen and her daughters before going "to sleep on soft couches till the morning". The original text makes clear that Máel Dúin and his companions sleep with the queen and her daughters respectively, and continue to do so during their entire stay on the island. The same detail is omitted in Jacobs' child-friendly version. Both Joyce and Jacobs also omit that right upon their arrival on the island, the daughters of the queen prepare a bath for the voyagers.

* {{Bowdlerize}}: The translation by P. W. Joyce and the retelling by Creator/JosephJacobs omit that Máel Dúin is the product of a rape. This loses the finer points of the original, namely, that Ailill was no better than the pirates that killed him, and that Máel Dúin's perceived duty to avenge his father to restore the family honor is rather questionable to begin with.

* TheresNoPlaceLikeHome: The voyagers discover an island ruled by a queen who invites them into her palace and straightaway takes Máel Dúin as her lover and sets up his seventeen companions with her own seventeen daughters. She also reveals that on her island there is no old age, and that they will live an eternal life of pleasure in her palace as long as they stay on the island. After spending three months on the queen's island, Máel Dúin's companions want to return to Ireland. At first Máel Dúin objects on the grounds that their life in Ireland could not possibly be better than their life here; only when his companions announce that they will leave with or without him, Máel Dúin chooses to go with them, rather than to part with them and stay on the island alone.

* TalkingAnimal: Island no. 18 is discovered by the voyagers when they hear voices and the chanting of psalms, and follow the sound until they see a rock-like island full of talking birds. A little later they land on another small island where an immortal hermit lives with a swarm of birds which, he explains, are the souls of his relatives and descendants who have died back in Ireland. This suggests that all the talking birds are actually human souls awaiting the Last Judgement.
