Gubbaun Saor

Gubbaun Saor is the main character of "The Wonder Smith and His Son", a retelling of fourteen tales of the mythological smith of Ireland, by Ella Young; illustrated by Boris Artzybasheff (1927). It was a 1928 Newbery Honor Book.

:"The Gubbaun Saor, whose other name was Mananaun, whose other name was Cullion the Smith..."

Two of Ella Young's retellings were reprinted by Collier in "The Young Folks Shelf of Books." The character's name is given as "the Gobhaun Saor" (always with the definite article).
