West of Ireland Folk Tales for Children

These stories are wild. These stories are magic. Maybe it's wrong to try and trap them in a book. Maybe you should set them free and tell them. Some of these stories are strange and sad, some are a bit scary and some are a bit mad. The ancestors liked them, that is why they passed them down to us. Read them, tell them and pass them on! These stories - specially chosen to be enjoyed by seven- to 11-year-old readers - sparkle with magic and explode with adventure. As old as the mountains and the sea, they are freshly re-made for today's readers.
