An Fia sa Choill – BOOKED OUT! Sadhbh Devlin

Tá rud éigin speisialta faoin bhfia a mbuaileann Fionn Mac Cumhaill léi sa choill. Ní bhíonn súile glasa ag an ainmhí sin de ghnáth… Éist le leagan úrnua den scéal draíochtúil seo ón bhFiannaíocht, An Fia sa Choill (Futa Fata), scríofa ag Sadhbh Devlin agus maisithe ag Anastasia Melnykova, agus samhlaigh go bhfuil tú féin in ann do chruth a athrú – cén t-ainmhí a roghnófá féin?

There is something special about the deer that Fionn Mac Cumhaill meets in the woods. Those animals don’t usually have green eyes… Listen to a brand-new version of this magical tale from the Fenian Cycle, in Sadhbh Devlin‘s An Fia sa Choill (Futa Fata), illustrated by Anastasia Melnykova, and imagine yourself as a shape-shifter – what kind of animal would you change into if you could?

This is an Irish language school event suitable for 2nd – 4th class. Bookings/expressions of interest to info@dublinbookfestival.com.
