A hilarious romp through medieval Ireland. We are in Ireland and its an awfully long time ago. Centuries and centuries. The country is supposed to have gone Christian, but theres still magic in the air, salmon in the rivers, berries in the bushes, druids in the forest, a Worm in the lake, fairy music in the distance. Manchn doesn't want to be a monk. Not when he could be going fishing with his friend, Pagan of the Six Toes, or charging through the forest with his pet pig, Muck, or learning about the mysteries of time with the druids. Orriding over the bog on the chieftains mad ram, Balor. Anything, really, that's fun or adventurous or magical and absolutely nothing to do with turnips, penance, prayers, monks and chanting. Illustrated throughout with John Chambers's playful ink drawings of Manchn's adventures. Ireland but not as you know it. The funniest book youll read this year.
