I loved reading this book, even though it is for an assignment .... I'm writing a paper on the folk lore of Ireland and its impact on the Irish culture. Anyway, this was a fun book, very easy reading but full of interesting things about leprechauns, pookahs, banshees, etc. Fun reading!

An excellent introduction to Irish folklore, perfect for story time with a young one.
