A man who plants lollipops, a lonely banshee-and a flying grandmother?

You will find them all in this engaging anthology, together with some giants, a greyhound and a rather puzzled fox.

Featuring some of Ire land’s finest storytellers including Edna O’Brien, Martin Waddell, Oscar Wilde and Patricia Lynch, A Treasury of Irish Stories offers an unusual mix of traditional folk and fairy tales, ancient legends, animal fables, and contemporary stories. Haunting, funny, and scary by turns, they all share a distinctive Irish flavour which is perfectlycaptured in the evocative illustrations.
