Caitheann sé bia thart, sciobann sé rudaí, bíonn sé ag brú, ag soncadh agus ag pinseáil.

Sa gcnuasach seo, is fada le Dónall Dána go n-inseoidh sé dá dheartháir Learaí gan Locht faoi mhallacht an mhumaí, agus é ag iarraidh faitís a chuir air. Ach an bhféadfadh go bhfuil mallacht an mhumaí ar Dhónall é fhéin? Nó cén difríocht atá idir ‘Mamaí’ agus ‘Mumaí’ ar aon chaoi?

Dónall Dána is horrid boy who loves doing unimaginable and horrible things. He throws food, he pushes, shoves and pinches. There are four short stories in the collection Horrid Henry: Dónall Dána Mallacht an Mhumaí as there are in each book in the series. Marion Ní Shúilleabháin translated Mallacht an Mhumaí to Irish.

In Horrid Henry: Dónall Dána: Mallacht an Mhumaí our hero, Dónall Dána, can’t wait to give his brother, Perfect Peter, a fright when he tells him about the Mummy’s Curse. But could they actually be in danger from the Mummy’s Curse and what is the difference between a ‘Mammy’ and a ‘Mummy’ anyway?
