When Fionn Mac Cumhaill comes across a deer in the forest and takes her to Dún Almhain, everyone is amazed when she transforms into a young woman called Sadhbh.  She settles into her new home very quickly and although she’s surrounded in mystery, she’s very popular.

In this beautiful retelling of an old Irish legend, Sadhbh Devlin brings added depth and emotion to the characters of Sadhbh and Fionn, while Anastasia Melnykova’s atmospheric illustrations enhance and enrich the story on every page.
