This is a collection of classic Irish legends, retold for children of eight and over by an accomplished writer, and exquisitely illustrated in full colour by an award-winning illustrator.

Marie Heaney and PJ Lynch provide their own interpretation of one of the world's greatest literary traditions in this stunning collection, which includes a previously unpublished poem translated from the Irish by Seamus Heaney.
