\u201cThis comic, tender collection of tales from the oral tradition will give adults as much pleasure to read aloud as it will give children to hear. Doyle has a lively prose style full of wonderfully idiomatic dialogue... Sharkey's palette of autumnal colours is exceptionally rich and luminous.\"<\/span> Starred Review - The Sunday Times<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"A very lively retelling of seven traditional Irish stories accompanied by striking stylised artwork from Niamh Sharkey (winner of the Mother Goose Award).\"<\/span> \u00a0The Bookseller<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"A book to be treasured, as youngsters will return to it again and again.\u201d<\/span> \u00a0Book Trust UK<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u201cPure magic spills from every page of Malachy Doyle's Tales from Old Ireland. The seven spellbinding myths and legends gathered here provide a panorama of Celtic culture and traditions in a landscape peopled with fairies, witches and other supernatural creatures. The prose - rich in rhyme, rhythm and imagery - is perfect for reading aloud. Niamh Sharkey's richly expressionistic pictures are the perfect compliment.\"<\/span> Junior Education<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
