10.8 - Run Away! Run Away!

Northern Ireland's Causeway Coast AONB is almost certainly best known for the Giant's Causeway: the ancient basalt columns that resulted from volcanic activity over 50 million years ago.

Of course, there's a legendary explanation for them too - that the Causeway was built as a pathway between Ireland and Scotland, until a dispute arose between the Irish and Scottish giants Finn McCool and Benandonner. McCool, knowing that he would be defeated in combat, enlisted his wife to help him, and was disguised as a baby when Benandonner arrived to fight. Intimidated by the sheer size of the 'baby', and unwilling to face the father as a result, Benandonner fled, smashing up the Causeway behind him to prevent pursuit.

Read a book from the first 25 pages of the Mythology shelf: Mythology Books

I'm afraid not, Goodreads has them listed as two separate books rather than editions of each other.

If the Kevin H. Dixon version were to appear on the list in its own right, then it would be acceptable.

As long as it meets the default SRC rules for childrens books, then yes. You'll need to provide AR Bookfind information when you claim.
