The Goblin of Tara
Every year, the Goblin comes to Tara. Every year, the monster burns the high king's fort to the ground. No one can withstand its horrible music. The king calls on Ireland's most fearsome warriors, the Fianna, to help him defend his people against the creature.
A new young warrior has come to Tara, seeking to join the Fianna and take revenge for his father's death. His name is Finn MacCool, and he intends to defeat the Goblin of Tara, or die trying.

Born in Dublin in 1973, Oisín spent his childhood there and in Drogheda, County Louth. He started writing and illustrating stories in copybooks when he was about six or seven, setting himself on a path that would steer him well clear of ever obtaining of a proper job.
Despite his writing habit, he spent most of school convinced he was going to become a zoologist, an aspiration he lost after taking his first art exam in third year at St. Olivers Community College. Unable to conceive of a way to make a living from writing fiction after his Leaving Cert., he decided to fund his dreams of being an author by working as an illustrator. He signed up for a design and print foundation course in Ballyfermot Senior College, Dublin, in 1990 and then studied animation at Dun Laoghaire School of Art and Design.
