Herminie Templeton Kavanagh is a famous author of books for children. Old as Ireland itself, the eccentric and weird folktales in this companion volume to "Darby O’Gill and the Good People" will open you the door to the world of men and magical creatures who walk the lanes of the Emerald Isle by day and wander its fields by night. Henpecked husbands scheme to get rich; ghosts wander the land trying to find rest. There are fortune-tellers and fairies, leprechauns and laggards straining their wits
...to contain the strange disturbance of it all and to bring to their charmed land a measure of order and peace. Haunted abbeys, mournful ghosts, enchanted gold, dangerous bandits, and a host of fairies and leprechauns. Add to them Darby O’Gill and his wife Bridget, and you will be definitely amazed and astonished by exciting adventures!
