Animated DVD and Book about The Giant's Causeway

A Kist o Wurds

Available for over a year

We hear excerpts from The Giant’s Causeway Project featuring Benandonner, the Scottish giant and Finn MacCool, his Ulster rival. The project is an animated DVD and book by Whitehead-based children’s author, illustrator and graphic designer, Stephen Hall. Stephen has made up new characters to go along with the two famous giants - including Finn’s wife and cat - and has produced the DVD in five different languages including an Ulster-Scots version voiced by Ian James Parsley. Stephen chats to Liam Logan about his Ulster-Scots roots, about his interest in the story behind The Giants Causeway and the importance of using humour to bring it to life.
