Tales from Old Ireland

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Niamh Sharkey. Doyle has retold seven of his favorite tales, beginning with "The Children of Lir," one of the best loved of Irish tales. "Lusmore and the Fairies" warns of the need to respect supernatural powers; "Fair, Brown, and Trembling" is a Cinderella variant; other tales are deeply rooted in Celtic mythology. The illustrations are richly colored like illuminated manuscripts. Thorough source notes are included.
