Description
Padraic Colum, an award-winning Irish storyteller whose children’s stories always ring with the music of the spoken voice, weaves a tale of long ago, when the King of Ireland’s son set out to find the Enchanter of the Black Back-Lands. He meets the Enchanter’s daughter, Fedelma, falls in love and is betrothed to her. Then, he loses her. His adventures to find her again lead him to the Land of the Mist, the Town of the Red Castle and the worlds of Gilly of the Goatskin, the Hags of the Long Teeth, Princess Flame-of-Wine and a meeting with the Giant, Crom Duv. Our children had a wonderful time with this story when they were in 2nd and 3rd grades. Ages 8-11.
