Daithi Lacha

"Dáithí Lacha was an Irish language television cartoon series for children broadcast on RTÉ during the 1960s. The series was not animated, however. For each five-minute episode, the creator, illustrator, and camera operator, Flann Ó Riain, produced a static comic strip which was shown one frame at a time.[1] A single narrator, Pádraic Ó Gaora, described the action and spoke the dialogue (Wikipedia) Today, Ireland's first home-grown television cartoon star is remembered by viewers of that generation for his frequent cries of "Aililiú!" ( Good heavens!), as well as for his large striped underpants — the only garb he wore. (Wikipedia) This book is the first edition and was used by primary school teachers in an attempt to teach children about the environment they were growing up in. My mother, Noirin Bn Mhic Ghiollarnaith, was a primary school teacher who used this book. Her signature is on it. "
