The Children of Lir | A Story for Children

Lir strode away from the council in Ireland while the chiefs called for his home to be burned. They had chosen Bodb Dearg as king. Lir had wanted the crown, and he left without a word of farewell. Bodb stopped the men who wanted to follow him. "Stay here," he said. In order: Lir walks away from the new king; Aoife orders the chariot; Aoife touches the children with her wand; Lir hears Fionnuala on the lake; The swans leave their father for Moyle; Fionnuala reaches the meeting rock alone; Fionnuala gathers her brothers on the rock; Fionnuala returns to an empty home; Fionnuala hears the bell on Inishglora; Kemoc stays beside the children of Lir.
