West of Ireland Folk Tales for Children

Who knows the true nature of Knockma? What is God's new policy? What happened when the boy encountered a pooka? And what became of the soldier wounded in body and soul? This book contains the most thrilling of the West of Ireland's tales of immortals, fairies, fantastical creatures, witches, skeletons, spirits and headless bodies. These stories — specially chosen to be enjoyed by 7— to 11-year-old readers — burst with adventure and excitement, magic and mystery. As old as the mountains, forests and sea, these well-loved stories are retold in all their mythical glory by storyteller Rab Fulton.
