In Little Irish Folklore Friends by Niamh Donnellan we follow along with six sweet rhyming stories of everyone's favourite creatures from Irish folklore as they use their powers in unexpected ways - turning frowns upside down and going from scary to silly!
Inspired by the National Folklore Collection, this new twist on Irish folk legends will amuse a whole new generation of young readers aged 4-6.
