The King of Ireland’s Son: DISCOUNT BOOK

Without doubt, The King of Ireland’s Son is the best of Padraic Colum’s books. Originally published in 1916, this classic has stood the test of time and remains one of the greatest set of tales ever—full of humor, imagination and drama.

This edition has been freshly typeset in a modern font, as well as carefully edited, annotated and endnoted, allowing the reader to enter fully into all the often playful subtlety of meaning Colum gives to the names, places and objects in the tale. In addition, the pronunciation of the Irish and Celtic names and words has been noted, often with a background note or two as to their meaning.
