About the Book

Immerse yourself in the world of Ireland's ancient magic. Drawing on the faded pages of his great-granduncle Fantasius’s notebooks, John Farrelly reveals the secrets of the Irish Faerie folk. From legendary beings like banshees and shape-shifting pookas to the watchful skeagh shee and the ferocious dobhar-chú, this field guide tells you everything you need to know about the creatures of Irish folklore and where to find them. A compendium of Ireland’s most astonishing mythical beings.

About the Author :
John Farrelly was born and raised in a village just outside Newry, Co. Down. After dropping out of art college because all he wanted to do was write stories and draw pictures, he became a freelance caricature artist. He always did a full day's work - he just spread it over the whole week. Finally, after a three-day siege, where no one was injured and all hostages were released, The O'Brien Press let him write stories and draw pictures.

Review :
a lot of these books pass my desk, and this is one of the best … there’s a sense of humour about it, there’s an intelligence about it … tongue-in-cheek-ness about it the jocular tone belies the depth of the content … The book is illustrated throughout in the Gothically garish manner of Brian Froud. Each of the 28 creatures featured has an appealing “Top Trumps” style notes section, complete with height comparisons, magical powers and usual habitats, should you wish to try and spot them in the wild! … on guide which is always helpful. This slim volume, a fairy primer if you will, is well worth your time if you want to complete or even begin your knowledge of the Irish supernatural - 5 star review
