It is a cold day in Ireland, the 26th of December; frost lies thick
on the blackthorn. A man walks the just-waking village, banging on
every door, summoning the boys. Today is St. Stephen's Day, when
legend has it that the Saint was betrayed by a wren's call, and the
boys are off to the forest where they hope to find the traitorous
bird and capture it by nightfall. But what will they do if their
prey escapes them? Inspired by the many myths of the wren and the
Irish tradition of hunting it, Carol Ann Duffy's beautiful new
Christmas poem takes us on a chase through a snowy, rural landscape
and ends with a merry celebration. With gorgeous full-colour
illustrations by Dermot Flynn throughout, The Wren-Boys will make a
perfect stocking-filler this festive season.
