Cluasa Capaill ar an Rí

The story of Labhraí Loingseach, the king with horse’s ears, is known and loved in Ireland.

It is an international folktale, told and retold across the world in different versions, for hundreds (maybe thousands!) of years. In this retelling, Bridget Bhreathnach’s words and Shona Shirley Macdonald’s images both humanize the tragedy of Labhraí and set it in the rich tradition of the Irish popular imagination.
