Join master storyteller Kieran Fanning on a visit to every county in Ireland, told through 32 magical stories in Enchanted Ireland.

This beautifully presented gift book features a map, facts and details from locations mentioned, as well as gorgeous full-page colour art by Julia Iredale to illustrate each story. Here, we have a story from Fermanagh - The Golden Apples of Lough Erne.
