Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Storytelling is one of Ireland's oldest and grandest traditions, and these vivid tales of far-off days will introduce young readers to the country's irresistible folklore. Here are brave warriors with superhuman skills, monster dogs with blazing eyes, fairy folk and leprechauns, and the magical land of Tir na nÓg . Author Batt Burns grew up with these beloved characters and legends, and he captures all their enchanting language and flights of fancy. Exquisite art by Igor Oleynikov enhances every tale.
