Seo scéal grá éagmaise taitneamhach, mealltach, a bhaineann leis an saol in Ard Mhacha le linn thréimhse chorraithe 1745. Tugann ana t-údar léargas neamh-choitianta fúinn ar eachtraí agus imeachtaí i ndomhan atá imithe uainn anois ach a d'fhág a scáth orainn i gcónaí.
Scéal é a bheadh oiriúnach do dhéagóirí fásta.

The events in this story of unrequited love take place in Armagh in the first half of the 18th century. On Little Christmas a baby is left in the house of the Master of Armagh Prison. Although treated very badly the child grows up there and she herself tells how she became acquainted with the outlaw, Séamus Mac Murchaidh and how the famous song about him was composed. This song 'Ar Mhullach Shliabh gCuillinn' is still sung in south Armagh.
A beautifully told tale, suitable for adult teenagers

[sculptor,artist,author Cliodhna Cussen has written a couple of other short books based on folksongs/folktales, including one about the song "An Bhean Udaí Thall"]
