Description

“A robust story of courage and danger” (Booklist). “A should for collectors of Cinderella variants” (Kirkus Reviews).

Folklorist Shirley Climo retells an age-old Irish tale that is an extraordinary twist on the preferred Cinderella fairy tale. As Creativiteach.com says: “What would have happened if Cinderella were a man? How might the story be different? An old Irish folk tale provides one answer. Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day.”

Ever since he was once a baby, Becan’s only worry has been his big feet—until his widowed father remarries. His new stepmother and her three daughters feed him crusts of bread and banish him to work within the fields. So Becan runs away.

With the assistance of his only friend, a magical bull, he defeats a giant, slays a dragon, and rescues a princess. But before she can thank him, Becan disappears, leaving in the back of him considered one of his enormous boots. The princess scours the kingdom for the owner of the giant boot. Will Becan’s feet give him away? And what’s going to his fate be if they do?
