Irish Tales of Mystery and Magic is a collection of marvellous stories by seanchaí Eddie Lenihan that will charm, entertain and amuse children of all ages. These tales of ancient Irish heroes and druids tell of strange and peculiar adventures at a time when creatures of the night walked the earth and magic was everywhere. Stunningly illustrated, these hair-raising stories capture some of that magic.
Eddie Lenihan is a living legend to all who remember being entranced when his 'Ten Minute Tales' were first broadcast on RTE. Originally from Brosna, Co.Kerry he now lives in Crusheen, Co.Clare. He remains Ireland's greatest living seanchaí and tours constantly, not only in Ireland but in the USA and Europe, bringing Irish traditional tales to as wide an audience as possible. A celebrated author of many books, he is also a lecturer and collector of ancient Irish tales, myths and legends.
