A beautiful and unique retelling of an old local Donegal folk tale. Kim Sharkey’s style is both original and striking, and her magnificently illustrated characters draw the reader instantly into the drama. It’s no surprise that she won the Eilís Dillon award for a first book at the 2020 KPMG Children’s Books Ireland Book of the Year Awards. Children and adults alike will love the story, the characters and, especially, the originality of the vibrant and exquisite illustrations.
