The stories in this book were selected from The King of Ireland's Son by Padraic Colum. The text was scanned by Lisa Ripperton from the first edition of this book, published in 1916 by Henry Holt and Company. The King of Ireland's Son is in the public domain in the United States, since more than 75 years have elapsed since the date of its first publication.
