Bridget Bhreathnach: Cluasa Capaill ar an Ri, illustrated by Shona Shirley Macdonald

An Irish language version of the folktale of Labhraí Loingseach, the king with horse’s ears, which is known and loved in Ireland.

Told and retold across the world in different versions, for hundreds (maybe thousands!) of years. In this retelling, Bridget Bhreathnach’s words and Shona Shirley Macdonald’s images both humanize the tragedy of Labhraí and set it in the rich tradition of the Irish popular imagination.

Nuair a bheirtear páiste do bhanríon na tíre, tá sí féin agus an rí an-bhuartha: tá cluasa capaill ar an bpáiste. An nglacfaidh muintir na tíre lena mac, Labhraí? An mbeidh sé in ann a rún aisteach a choinneáil ar feadh a shaoil, fiú nuair a bheidh sé féin ina rí ar an tír?

Seanscéal é seo faoin misneach a theastaíonn uaireanta leis an fhírinne a insint, is cuma céard a cheapann daoine eile.
