Cill Chais
Seán Ua Cearnaigh
Bob Ó Cathail a mhaisigh
ISBN 1857916212
An Gúm 2006

Úrscéal gairid do dhéagóirí, úrscéal eachtraíochta a thugann beocht nua don amhrán cáiliúil úd Cill Chais.
Éiríonn le Seán Ua Cearnaigh ár spéis sa tréimhse úd a mhúscailt, tréimhse ina raibh Éire faoi shúistí gall agus ábhair sagairt ar a dteitheadh faoi rún chun na Mór-Roinne. Cill Chais! Tá draíocht ag baint leis an dá fhocal sin: ‘Bhíodh iarlaí ag tarraingt thar toinn ann is an tAifreann binn dá rá…’

Everyone knows that beautiful song Cill Chais and those who do not have Irish may well be familiar with Frank O’ Connor’s translation – ‘What shall we do without timber? …’
Seán Ua Cearnaigh has created a stirring, time-travelling novella for teenagers based on the actual historical events surrounding Cill Chais in its hey-day. It was a time of oppression, a time of danger and high adventure – not least smuggling young men out of the country to train as priests abroad. A page-turner! Strikingly illustrated by Bob Ó Cathail.
