A new version of the international folktale of Labhraí Loingseach, the king with horse’s ears. Barbers enter the castle to cut his hair, discover the secret and nobody ever sees them come back out! How long can the lonely king keep his secret? Will he have the courage to reveal the truth? Shona Shirley Macdonald’s spectacular illustrations add to the magic of Bridget Bhreathnach’s retelling, giving us a wonderful sense of a mythical otherworld.
(Age 5+)
Tá an rí agus an bhanríon an-bhuartha. Tá cluasa capaill ar a mbáibín óg. Conas is féidir an rún seo a choinneáil? Téann bearbóirí isteach sa chaisleán chun gruaig an phrionsa a bhearradh ach ní fheictear riamh iad ag teacht amach arís. Caithfear an fhírinne a insint ar deireadh. Athinsint álainn ar an seanscéal cáiliúil faoi chluasa capaill a bheith ar Labhraí Loingseach. É maisithe le léaráidí draíochtúla ag Shona Shirley Macdonald.
