Irish storytellers called seanachies pass stories down to the next generation just as their ancestors have done for hundreds of years. In the "King with Horses' Ears and Other Irish Folktales", we learn the risk of keeping a secret, the power of a mother's love and the importance of laughing at yourself. From a mystical place where nobody grows old, to the Lost Island of Lonesome Seals, these special tales will transport readers to a land where the fantastic is entirely possible. It is a great edition to the growing "Folktales of the World" series!
