This is the story of the boyhood deeds of Cuchulain, Ireland's original superhero.

Follow the death-defying adventures of the boy hero at the warrior school of King Conchobar.

Will he survive his first test?


The original rendition, part of the "Ulster Cycle" of Irish mythology, was discovered within the 12th Century manuscript: "The Book of the Dun Cow", which now survives in the Royal Irish Academy, Dublin.

The tale itself is believed to pre-date its first written recording by over a thousand years; spread in those days by spoken tradition through generations stretching back to the time of the Iron Age inhabitants of Ireland.

This modern retelling of Cuchulain's boyhood deeds is adapted and embellished, aiming to be the perfect bedtime story for adventure-loving boys and girls age 7 and up, whilst remaining true to the colourful and somewhat grisly original. (Advisory: contains fantasy violence)

Top review from the United States

Gerard McLoughlin
5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended!
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2014
This is an excellent book which really brings this legendary tale to life for young boys and girls alike.

The story is divided into twelve separate chapters which are perfect for reading to little ones as a bedtime story each night over the course of a week or two. Adults too will enjoy familiarising themselves with the contemporary recounting of the famous tales and will laugh and enjoy the twists and turns as the story effortlessly unfolds.

Children will love the vivid and sometimes humorous language used and will fondly recall the detailed adventures read to them by mun or dad in their adult years. Every home should have one!
