Finn MacCoul and His Fearless Wife: A Giant of a Tale from Ireland

40 pp. | Dutton | February, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-525-45971-5 $$16.99
(3) K-3 Finn MacCoul, following the instructions of his brave and clever wife Oonagh, poses as his own baby son and bests his enemy the gullible giant Cucullin in a battle more of wits than of strength. Cartoonish figures almost burst out of the illustrations, playing up the humor in this tall tale. Detailed source notes and a pronunciation guide are appended.
