Synopsis
VISIT THE EMERALD ISLE FOR SOME LARGER-THAN-LIFE LAUGHS!

THE GIANT FINN MacCOUL is a loveable but cowardly fellow who finds himself in a peck of trouble after that nasty Scottish bully, Cucullin, tries to pick a fight. Aided by a wee bit of faery magic, Finn's clever wife, Oonagh, comes up with a hilarious plan: Finn will hop in the cradle and pose as his own baby. Then Cucullin will be in for a great big surprise!

Robert Byrd's fresh retelling of this favorite yarn from Irish folklore is dazzling to the eye and lilting to the ear. Shimmering with color and magically stretching perspectives, the paintings will pull readers back in time to the days when giants roamed and faeries danced and nobody was as lucky as those who sat in front of a fire, listening to stories.
