Flossie McFluff Summary

Flossie McFluff: An Irish Fairy by Eoin O'Brien

In a deep leafy wood, by a slow-moving stream,
Where butterflies flutter through golden sunbeams,
Lives a beautiful fairy called Flossie McFluff.
She's tiny and shiny, but Flossie is tough.


She has magical powers; she knows magic words;
And she cares for the trees and the bees and the birds.
Wee Flossie lives high in an ancient oak tree,
And lives for adventure, as we shall soon see ...

Three stories in rhyme about a little fairy who looks after the forest.

In the first tale, she gives some litter louts a scare, then she helps a lonely banshee find some friends, and finally helps her leprechaun friend Paddy Potts find his missing gold.

Flossie McFluff Reviews

The colourful illustrations are intricate in detail and each page is framed or decorated with traditional Celtic symbols where the meeting of these features echo the fluid nature and aesthetic of the artwork found in The Book of Kells. This is a charming collection of rhythmic stories that couples as a practical and engaging introduction to young readers about the necessity of cadence and flow in the read and enjoyment of poetry. Recommended for three- to seven-year-olds

* Irish Examiner *

The courage and kindness of this feisty little fairy is demonstrated in three lively stories, with magical illustrations ... The rhyming text bounces along tunefully and the illustrations are delightful. The words and images combine to create a captivating fairy realm that will appeal to little readers. These tales are fun to read aloud and quite short, so parents won't mind when they inevitably have to read all of them at once. Children will love getting three bedtime stories in one go! Flossie Mc Fluff features familiar creatures from Irish mythology and celebrates the splendour of the Irish countryside in all its green glory. Celtic-style borders decorate many of the pages. It's ideal for sending to friends and family who are living abroad and can't make it to Ireland at the moment. Flossie would also make an excellent souvenir for visitors to this country when the time is right. Flossie is a fantastic character and it's brilliant to see a fairy that challenges some of the frillier stereotypes ... Flossie's adventures are a wonderful way to teach children about the importance of caring for the environment and helping others. Despite all Flossie's magic, she never forgets that compassion is a far greater power, or how, a good friend is worth more than a leprechaun's treasure. Good children's books are just as precious, and this hopefully isn't the last we see of Flossie Mc Fluff!
