“Any parent or teacher could use this bilingual book to entice children towards Irish. Maureen O’Hara plays a central role as the storyteller in the English version of the book. Alan Titley does magnificent work in enabling children to hear beautifully rich, fluent Irish being spoken. Every child will be easily able to follow and understand Alan. Let’s hope that Irish Folklore Publications will continue to publish more books of this high standard as this wonderful book.”
