    About this ebook

    ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 304
    In this 304th issue of the Baba Indaba’s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Irish fairy story – “THE WOOING OF BECFOLA”.

    The High King of Ireland and the prince Crimthann are hunting in the forest. They encounter a beautiful woman driving a chariot. The High King asks for her name, where she is from, and what she is doing? The woman refuses to provide any information. The king names the woman Becfola and asks for her hand in marriage. The woman accepts, even though she has fallen in love with Crimthann and would prefer to marry him.

    Long after, Becfola is living in Tara with the High King. She reveals her feelings to Crimthann and they make a plan to flee Tara.
    But will their plans be realised? Are there more forces at play than just the power of love? What happens on Becfola’s journey to meet Crimthann? Will the High King find out and if he does what will he do to her? To find the answers to your questions, you're invited to download and read this story for yourself!

    Baba Indaba is a fictitious Zulu storyteller who narrates children's stories from around the world. Baba Indaba translates as "Father of Stories".

    Each issue also has a "WHERE IN THE WORLD - LOOK IT UP" section, where young readers are challenged to look up a place on a map somewhere in the world. The place, town or city is relevant to the story. HINT - use Google maps.
