My 8-year-old daughter and loved this story

My daughter, who is in Grade 2 at a Waldorf school, and I listened to this story and we loved it. She was also having it read to her in class, and then the class preformed the play. She was completely immersed in The King Of Ireland's Son for 3 months! Afterwards, she and her friend's would preform the play together for fun. My daughter loved all the magic and adventures in the story. I loved the depth of the story and how all the stories wove together. It was an absolute delight to listen to.
