This beautiful and engaging children's book tells of the 17th century adventures of Richard Joyce, the original designer and creator of Galway's own Claddagh Ring.
Written locally by Patricia McAdoo and illustrated by Galway artist James Newell, the book follows the young Richard as he leaves his beloved Claddagh home from the Spanish Arch in Galway on a ship bound for foreign lands.
A wonderful tale of friendship, loyalty and love, Richard’s exciting journey at sea and in foreign places unfolds dramatically with all sorts of exciting dilemmas and escapades.
Galway City, the Claddagh and the legend of the Claddagh Ring are vividly brought to life in the striking illustrations featuring some of Galway’s best loved landmarks.
This is a special story that belongs to Galway and its heritage, and provides perfect bedtime reading for families around the world.
