Ridire an Ghaiscidh

Description

An old folk story is given a new and hilarious lease of life.

In this book you’ll meet Ridire an Ghaiscidh (The Heroic Knight), the son of a king raised in an underground tomb, who wanted to be just like the heroes in the stories his stepmother would tell him.

You’ll also meet his adversaries: a giant, a white stallion, a bald goat, a horrible old witch, a cat, a big eejit (and his mother) — and the biggest challenge that he must face, Black Knee.

There are kings (two of them), kings’ daughters (twelve of them), lots of battles, magic boats, an Tuircéis Mhór and an Tuircéis Bheag. As if that’s not enough, watch out for the drinking competition, people back from the dead, and a magic robin…
