Bought this book at Wonderbooks in Germantown.

The collection is very slim, consists of twelve stories, and is apparently the second book in a duology of folklore. Although the collection is for children, it is well put together and the author seems to not have taken much liberty with the stories themselves. What I mean to say is, they're still plenty dark and contain a lot of the original Irish words with parenthetical translations (or none, where the meaning is obvious to anyone with a passing knowledge of the language.)

I found the stories to be entertaining, and helpful, as I was hoping they would be. The book was perfect for spurring some ideas, planting the seeds for some stories that I am working on. As far as being a children's book, though, I'm not certain that it would be terribly interesting for little kids to read. Not enough pictures or action for today's youth.

It's perfect if you've an interest in folklore, though, and want a quick read.
