The Táin: The Great Irish Battle Epic
This is a new children’s translation of Ireland’s great epic legend featuring the hero Cúchulainn and the warrior Queen Maeve. Queen Maeve’s army is marching north to steal the great brown bull, the Pride of Ulster. But one man stands in their way. Cúchulainn, the Hound of Ulster, vowed in boyhood to protect his homeland – even if it means taking on an invading army himself. One by one Maeve’s warriors challenge the hero, and one by one they fall. Can Cúchulainn hold out until reinforcements arrive – and how will he fare against the one man in Ireland he does not want to fight? This translation of Ireland’s most important myth is retold in English for children and sparkles with wit and humour, as well as the thrill and battle of the ancient tale. Illustrations by comic artist Eoin Coveney lend a modern feel.
