The rich yet clear Irish brogue of the narrator sets the listening experience deeply into a distant never world, packed with unique, odd, kind and nefarious characters. Wonderful!

Mystical, archaic Celtic treasure

I liked how everything was orchestrated and the ribbon as well. This format is always my jam. The theory of six degrees of separation at its best. I was most captivated by “the story that came before and after”. I invested even more. However, I feel that I am going to have to experience this in hard copy due to the numbers that was recited. That sounded random and I’m sure there was significance. I’m sure the voice shall live on forever.

Now I really need to visit Ireland!

"The King of Ireland's Son" is like the fairytale of all fairytales. It's perfect for second grade when children graduate from fairytales to fables.

A must read for every 8-10 year old!
