Review # 1 was written on 2016-04-13 00:00:00 Samuel Curry I found this little book on my shelves during the COVID19 pandemic and have read one a night for a bedtime story over the past 37 nights. Loved doing that! The illustrations by Barbara Brown added to the atmosphere. What did I learn? Don't mess with fairies!!

Review # 2 was written on 2015-05-27 00:00:00 Holly Preston This was pretty good. There's some fun stories and it ends in Cork (with the story about where the Lough came from). But the only thing is, an Irish editor (who can understand the Irish language) would have been a real advantage. That way they wouldn't have gotten things as simple as the days of the week wrong in the book. That's a shockingly easy thing to get wrong! All the Irish is pretty bad really. And they translate Fionn MacCumhaill all the time, it's a name you don't need to translate it.
