Caoimhín agus na Lonta Dubha
Nuair a chonaic stiúrthóir Futa Fata, Tadhg Mac Dhonnagáin, an leabhar seo ag Comhdháil Leabhair Pháistí Éireann anuraidh, bhí sé meallta aige! Scríofa ag David Almond agus maisithe ag P.J. Lynch, ní dhearna Futa Fata aon mhoill ag fiosrú chearta an leabhair seo agus tá ríméad orainn anois go mbeidh leagan Gaeilge, aistrithe ag Tadhg féin, ar fáil i mí Dheireadh Fómhair. Is údar bróid dúinn é freisin a fheiceáil go raibh an-áthas go deo ar P.J. agus David faoin leagan Gaeilge seo. Nasc réamhordaithe inár mbio.
When Futa Fata director Tadhg Mac Dhonnagáin first saw this book at the Children’s Books Ireland Conference last year, he was smitten! Written by David Almond and illustrated by P.J. Lynch, Futa Fata made no delay in enquiring about the Irish-language rights. Fast forward nearly a year and here we are! Translated by Tadhg, ‘Caoimhín agus na Lonta Dubha’ will be available in October. We were also beyond chuffed and proud to see how much the Irish edition means to P.J. Lynch – he posted on his own social media pages last week that, of the more than 30 books he has published, many of them about Irish legends or themes, this was the first of all to be published as Gaeilge. “I am inordinately proud of this book!” – P.J. Lynch. So are we P.J. and David, so are we!
