Publisher Review

"A welcome rival to the widely available versions of European tales." * Sara Keating, The Irish Times * "This gutsy, vivid, gruesomely humorous retelling of the seminal Irish myth is perfectly judged for folklore addicts." * The Guardian * "Accessibly written and as full of gore as the battle itself ... it will instigate discussions about war, heroism, myths and legends." * BookTrust * "This is a fantastic story." -- BBC Radio 4 "Updating the language while keeping the story true to its time is a tricky tightrope but it's beautifully managed here, and the many illustrations by Eoin Coveney are rich and atmospheric." * Meath Chronicle * "Alan's writing is clear and easy to follow, and Eoin's illustrations are a marvel. They're just beautiful; I could spend hours examining them for different details. The story is exciting and moves along at the right speed." * Read and Reviewed *
