  Petrushka the clown is the crowd’s favourite. But the little puppet boy is unhappy. He’s fed up with just making people laugh. He longs to be big and brave, like Strongman, so he can save Pretty Ballerina and take her away with him. All he needs is courage. Will he find it?

  The Little Puppet Boy is a well known tale from Russian folklore.

  Malachy Doyle

  Little Setanta was determined to join the Red Branch Knights, but the king’s young warriors were determined to stop him. First he’d have to beat them at hurling, then he’d have to fight every one of them, and then… then there was the great hound of Culann to do battle with.

  The Hound of Ulster is a well known tale from Irish folklore.
