Padraic Colum

Padraic Colum [8 December 1881 – 11 January 1972]

Born Patrick Collumb in Longford, Ireland, Padraic Colum was a renowned poet, dramatist, biographer, editor, children’s writer, folklorist, and playwright. Living in Dublin during the Celtic Revival and a member of both the National Theatre Society and the Abbey Theatre, he met and became close friends with writers James Joyce, W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, and George Russell.

During his lifetime, Colum published more than 50 volumes of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, drama, children’s literature, and folklore. Early in his career, he wrote several plays, including The Land (1905) and Thomas Muskerry (1910), both of which were staged at the Abbey Theatre. In 1914, he moved to New York City and began to write for children. The King of Ireland’s Son (1916, illustrated by Willy Pogany) collects the serialised children’s stories, based on Irish folklore.
