Book Band: Grey (ideal for ages 8 ) A thrilling retelling of the
traditional Irish legend of Cúchulainn written by Malachy Doyle.
Young Setanta, the son of poor shepherds, is determined to impress the
mighty king of Ulster with his strength and bravery and to join the
Red Branch Knights. He could easily beat the other warriors at
hurling. He could even triumph over them in a fight. But can he defeat
the ferocious hound of Ulster, the smith Culann's menacing guard dog,
and prove his worth? This page-turning story from Malachy Doyle, based
on the traditional Irish folk tale, has exciting black-and-white
illustrations by Erin Brown and is perfect for children who are
developing as readers. The Bloomsbury Readers series is packed with
book-banded stories to get children reading independently in Key Stage
