If leprechauns are all you can think of when it comes to Ireland's mythical creatures, think again!
Irish mythology is bursting with fantastical creatures and Mark Joyce’s beautifully designed trilogy – Mythical Irish Beasts, Wonders, and Places - takes readers of all ages on a delightful journey through Irish folklore, full of stories of terrifying monsters, enchanted creatures, and magical sites, bringing them to life through his original illustrations.
Besides well-known supernatural beings like the Banshee and the Pooka, we also learn of unknown monsters like the 400-eyed Suileach, and the King of otters, Dobhar-Chú.
In this new edition of his bestselling Mythical Irish Beasts, Mark introduces us to eight new beasts, including Grogan and the Gruagach, the magical bird of Assaroe, and more!
