"An accessible and entertaining biography for young sports fans, especially appealing for reluctant readers....withthe thrill and excitement of compelling sport commentary." Children's Books Ireland.
There are parts of Ireland where hurling is life. Luckily for young Henry Shefflin, his home village of Ballyhale in Co. Kilkenny is one such place.
Henry is from a hurling stronghold where every thought is about the next point, the next goal, the next match. But there’s only one match anyone talks about come September – the All-Ireland Final.
Can Henry be as good a hurler as his father and brothers? Can he train hard and overcome injuries and disappointments to one day play at Croke Parkfor his beloved county?
King Henry is the incredible story of how Henry Shefflin became one of the greatest hurling player of all time.
