The King of Ireland’s Son

by Padraic Colum


Description:  A romance of unusual beauty and simplicity, having all the traditional elements of the folk tale and all its magic and wonder.

A book of uncommon beauty in form and content, with illustrations and decorations in black and white by Willy Pogany.
